I ride in New Hampshire and New Zealand. (Crotched, Mt Hutt) Shred everywhere trees, jumps, tech rails, cliffs, whatever.
5'8" 145Lbs. Skiing for 18 years. Looking at new skis. Lizzy's look sick, fat and light. But the anthems are dope as well and cheaper and longer. and the new blends look sweet too. are blends heavy though? i dunno cant make up my mind...
I mostly slay park, unless its a good day, then im in the trees in NH or steeps in NZ. (no trees)
maybe even Bacons, I like going fast and I think theyd be sick in park too. hellp me plz ! thx

^are you kidding. please use the searchbar prior to making threads. anthems are going to be pretty soft but probably the lightest of the three. lizzys are super soft and unless you really have a thing for superfat park skis then there a waste of money if your planning to progress in the park. i dont much about blends, but their the stiffest of the three. anthem=park, blends=allmtn, lizzys=pow/allmtn

go with anthems if you will be doing rails. Lizzys will be to wide to get very tech and blends will be to stiff imo

i am 5"8 and a little lighter than you 135-140.. and i have lizzies.. if you want to go really tech on boxes and rails i would get anthems.. lizzies are light for what they are but arent really that light.. but anthems wont be anywhere near as good in pow.. i would think the lizzies will probably be better than the blends in pow too.. i love them! I did a review of lizzies if your interested..

if its mostly park you ride then go with the anthems, they are awesome at park and still ski great all mountain (i don't like them for pow).
if you ride park but still ski alot of allmt/pow then i'd go with the blends... just an all around good ski. i've never ridden lizzies so can't help you there.

i'd go with blends for your everyday ski. i have anthems and bacons, but i used my blends most of the time. anthems are my favorite park ski of all time, but i hated them for all mountain compared to the blends. get the blends in 179, and mount them like -1 inch from center. they'll treat you right.

ya, i just demoed some '09 blends last week in NZ. they were sick. real light and stiff, but still had good flex. im just stuck between Lizzys and Blends now. Lizzys seem like theyd be real fun and flexy, but im afraid of what will happen at high speed hardpack

^^ go for blends dude.. they are incredibley stable at higher speeds and alot better in icey conditions than lizzies. lizzies still sound sick though, i just wouldn't get them if you're gonna spend alota time in ec snow
