so, i got some anthems now, but im moving to UT in a month and i figure anthems will probally suck since im not a park rat.  what would you all suggest, im 6'2 155lbs a love pow, woods, and natural hits and drops etc.

btw i was lookin at ep pros they look like theyd be dope for anything would this be true?

i def want something pretty wide but im not sure on the bents rocker it just sems soo huge, and unless i find someone whod wnat to trade for pow skiis im keeping the anthems so im not really lookin for an allmountain ski, and i like the idea of a rocker just the bents seem too much.  is it realy as much as it looks like in pictures or what?

i say if your gonna get a powder ski (considering you already have your park ski in the anthem) id go all out and just get something like the eps or the bents.

all ive heard are good things about fat rockered skis making powder seem like a whole new world.
and if your going to utah bents sound like a great choice (or ep pros w/e floats your boat)

how would bents or eps  do in woods though, like i know id be able to ski them, but are they hard to manuver in woods cause of the width

def not blends, too allmtn,
how bout some ARG's they seem like theyd be amazing i pow and hella manuverable in the woods, but horrible for grommed, but on non pow days id be on anthems.
i am really liking the looks of the ARG and JJ
