Which ones should I get...this years or next? I heard next years have 100mm underfoot and new sidewall construction as opposed to this years 90mm. Shed some light.

the new ones are stiffer i think and are made to be really easy to throw around in the park and big tricks.

they're totally different skis. Mine are 90mil underfoot next years are like 100 something. Not a huge fan of mine, durability isn't too hot.

how light do you think the new 100 mm blends will be compared to the invaders or anthems?

this year's blend is sick for a park ski.  that's what i use and have been using for the majority of the season.  next year's blend is considerably wider, and it will be a way better all mountain performer.  i'm assuming that the extra width may take away some of it's park prowess, but i haven't skied them yet so i can't say for sure.

the '09s are a sweet ski. demo'd them in NZ. super light weight. super fat. mad pop. and in real life they look sick. the orange is really fluro. so bright when u look at it with goggles on.

I have the blends 08 and I would definately recommend the 08's because they are exactly what you described in a ski. They are some-what flexible and are pretty good in the pow
