I am an expert skier, 155 pounds, 5'9. I ski at Whistler and occasionally the Banff area. I am looking to buy a pair of skis that i will be able to keep up with my usual riding while also being adequate in the park and pipe, as i am interested in learning how to freestyle. I want a ski that is nimble but also stable for skiing in trees, steeps and deeper powder but also able to charge through some of the rough patches and hold a decent edge on groomed runs.
I think i've narrowed it down a bit to these skis:
Line Anthem
4frnt MSP
Line Blend
Line Elizabeth
Please share your opinions/knowledge about these skis and which one would be a good fit for me and why. It would be greatly appreciated.

your could pull off the anthems if your gonna try to spend more time in the park ... the anthems are a wide ski for a park ski so it might do ... but the blends are also a really good choice

Oh you wanted a reason... It sounds like you want a ski to do it all, and the Blends are wide enough to be good in powder and still shred the park. Anthems are better for park due to the carbon stingers and butter zones, but they are deffinitely not as good as the Blends on the reast of the mountain

if you want to spend a lot of time in the park then go with the anthems, otherwise blends would be good all around

Liberty Helix - really fun in the park, but kills the rest of the mountain. Or Surface Watch Life, also amazing in the park, but wide enough to go elsewhere

for your need and out of the skis you mentioned, blends or msp's would be both solid choices
