Almost positive it's the same ski with a different top sheet.

They are NOT the EXACT same ski - there is a very slight difference in the flex because the 2010 Anthem has 10 carbon ollie bands and the 09s only have 5, this gives the 2010s a bit more of a controlled flex, they're still soft, but you have more control with them and they wash out less often.

I've got the regular 09 Anthems, great ski but mediocre durability. I'm almost positive the '10s are the same as the '09s except graphics.

Ah, so many mixed messages. The '10's are starting to sound better to me.

They are, one of the best park skis Line ever made, it's a shame they made them so good and then stopped making them.
