So as the title says, im looking for a new ski for next year. I was wondering which ski you guys think would be better for 60/40 park/all mountain? Im a fairly advanced skier thats 5'11" and about 150 lbs. would the 181 rockers be to long for someone my size?

Rocker makes skis feel shorter yes, but ive never seen reno rockers in person. How much rocker do they actually have? If its only a little more tip rise, then its still going to feel long. Ive skied Anthems the last 3 seasons, and not knowing anymore about Moment or those skis, I would recommend Anthems for park and some all mountain.

The Moment's rocker looks like:

Sorry for the phonecam pic, it's mine from last year before i got them mounted. Its a long gradual rocker, they do ski short but they kill it, I thought they were less chattery than the anthem and a great ski. Oh and i'm 5'8 135-140. I would have gone 5cm shorter in an ideal world.
Basically the anthem is soft and buttery but still a pricepoint park ski. The Rocker is a top of the line park ski, better durability, light weight (much lighter than anthems) but actually the flex is more medium-soft. The rocker makes them buttery but for me they didn't flap about too much.

i dont know a lot about moment but if you are going to get anthems i would get the 09s  10s have a few more strips of ollie band which is nice i guess but w/e shouldent make that much of a diffrence save youreself a lot of money and get the 09 177s super super fun ski btw

i skied the moment rockers, i would get them over anthems, better all mountain performance, the rocker handles veriable snow better, and moment is sick. and if you are an advanced skier 181 shouldn't even have to be questioned.

I made a review on the moment reno rockers if you wanna check it out.  My friend has the anthems and II think theyare a great ski, and if you don't want to spend as much i would go with them.  The rockers are an amazing ski, but are going to set you back more

If you want to support a small company and have a little extra cash go with the rockers. Ive skiied them and they were super fun jib skis. Also look into the Plank which are Ced-TF skis and are also rockered. As for the Anthems you can get them cheaper and they have a very popular reputaion as being a good all around park skis.
