I am 6 ft 200 pounds and idk what skis to get for next year. i was thinking about getting anthems but with my size i was thinking they might be too noodly. I ski mostly in PA so i wont be hitting jumps bigger than 40 feet and i will mostly be on rails. I ski mostly park and a little all mountain. Help me out.

something stiffer like the Volkl Wall would be better for you the AR6 is medium stiff but would be good in 181

Meh. Remember, he's not anywhere that requisits super shredding. Mainly he's going to be on rails and jibbing around, and the Wall is not a jibbing ski.

Anthems would not be a bad choice. My cousin loves his 178s and rides em everywhere - park, pow, crud, you name it. He's about 5'10 and 165 lbs I think.

Yes, the Anthems are a soft ski, but think of what you're doing - you're jibbing around in Pennsylvania where the jumps aren't huge but the rails are plentiful and there is much fun to be had jibbing and fooling around...am I right? The anthems are a perfect ski for that. I'm about your size, maybe 10 pounds lighter, and I was considering getting anthems.

Plus, they're cheap (or at least not expensive...):

A couple clarifying questions - how hard do you ski/beat your skis? How advanced are you?
