I bought the invaders 2 years ago and loved them. I want my next skis to be center mount and have nice butter zones. I like going on rails, jumps, and skiing through pow. Should I get the Anthems or the Afterbangs?

I've recently bought some line anthems, 07/08 Wolf ones. They're great for doing everything but the nose doesn't rocker up that much and the tips and tails aren't that wide so, as powder skis they're not incredible. The bases seem very durable, flex, pop and liveliness are all cool. Remember they come up really long,they did for me at least. My 171's are at least 177ish. They feel light.

yeah, the anthems definitely run long. The 171 is more like a 176-177

even if they were a bit longer, which i've never felt with any of my line skis (anthems included), you are still gonna center mount theses so it would be an issue.

did you not mount your invaders in the center? personally i like both skis, but the afterbangs are much more durable so if you plan on hittin some rocks in pow or the trees, then the afterbangs. otherwise i definately reccomend the anthems as an all mountain ripper.

Get the Anthems, not only are they better skis but this is there last year while the afterbangs will be going for at least 2 more years i bet
