Which ski do you think would be best for someone who skis about 20% Powder/Off Piste, 30% Groomers/Piste and 50% Park? I'm 5'11" and 140 lbs, I have been skiing for about 2 years and really want to excel in park and still have fun in the Pow. I'm looking for a ski that can do this without breaking my pocketbook. Which is it?

your profile says your home mountain is snoqualmie, so in that case, i'd say stay away from the anthem. it's a sick park ski, but if you want to have a good all mountain ski, go with one of the other two. if you're a pretty good skier and can handle a bigger ski well, go with the blend. they'd be perfect for anything out there. otherwise, check out the narrower chronic. they'll be easier to use in the park and they'll still perform super well all around the mountain.

yep, if you can handle something beefier then go with blends. if not i'd stick to the chronic, one of the best park/allmt twins out there.

Well I would classify myself still in the lower-intermediate level so would the blend be too hard for me to handle? And will the Chronic do at least alright in Powder?

hmmm back in the day an 86mm underfoot ski was considered fat. no but yeah i think chronics would be a bit more than ok for some pow days.

well with the 100 waist width on the blends those should be a good ski for you. i have never skied them but i do know the anthems are going to be to soft for what you want to do. and the chronics will probly be to skinny

you wont regret getting blends, they are perfect all mountain ski, great on groomers and can rip the park up too
plus 100mm underfoot just feels so good...
