im looking for information on the line anthem. i am getting new skis, with a reasonably small budget, and need good alround skis, and the anthem is very park orientated which is fine, as i spend alot of time in the park. but i need to know whether it will handle alright in the new zealand powder, as i sometimes venture out back...

i would reccomend the chronic cryptonite cause it still has a wide base underfoot for pow andits stiffer so you can shred the packed powder

Can't really say it any better. I have the Eric Pollard Spiral Anthems, a great park ski, but probably not what your looking for. Stick with LINE though!

Yeah I'd go with the cyrtonites, they have great all mountain dimensions and flex but would still slay whatever you throw at them in the park

i cant find any cryptonites around the same price as the anthems... will they b able to hold up in soft snow at all? my current volkl dogens arent wonderful, so anything would probably be better. i can also only find anthems in 171 at the biggest, which may be a bit too small as im 6''2'

Anthems are an overall great ski, soft they still hold their own. As for powder, it will be a waste of your time. BTW don't get anthems if you're heavy because you will wash out like nuts.

either the anthem or the chronic kryptonite will do you well.

the anthems are a bit more playfull and have the butterzone shit and would probably do a bit better in the park. You can't go wrong with either tho.
