Okay im looking to get new skis at the end of this season. i live on the east coast and ski 92% park. i want a light durable ski that i can do well in. Im 5'11 150lbs.

In My opinion: bluehouse antics are sick but a little thin under foot

Surface double times are decently wide underfoot and seem a little stiffer but still livelyy

k2 revival are sick as shit and from what ive heard are very good

My price range is about 300-350 is it worth the extra money to invest in some double times or revivals? or would antics be the ski for me?

Hey man! If you think the antics are small underfoot. Check out the MR from us. at 92 underfoot it rocks all mountian! It has a great flex pattern and amazing pop

At 125-92-120 its amazing in the park.

Thats what i ride in the park, because i'm a fan of a wider ski.

I'll vouch for the antics.  I love mine and they shred.  They are a little skinny but I really don't mind it.  They hold up real well in the park and shred all mountain.  Super fun ski and highly recomended.

I got the doubletimes. Pretty beefy with a 90mm waist. It shreds though. Lap crud/pow freshies in the morning, then in the afternoon, Lap the park hitting rails and stomping huge jumps. It shreds everything. Pretty stiff though but every landing feels like you stomp it.

I skied a pair of double times, not sure how I like them. They skied real similar to my chronics, they are lighter and the tails are super buttery. I prefer a buttery tip, but they were a fairly fun ski. Not sure if I would buy it though. I have heard good things about the revivals, and the antics look sick.

I'd defintely go with the Bluehouse Antic or MR. I currently ride both, my friend has the same boot size as I do so we switch ski's sometimes. They both rip park and are great all-mountain ski. The MR being the obviously better all-mountain ski. I think the MR does a lot better than the Antic, double time, or revival at jumps, it is a little stiffer ski and can really hold on when landing back seat.

double times are real dope. stiff nose, softer tails which i like because i can nose butter no problem and it makes tail butters much easier which are def harder for me. tons of pop, super stable and durable. tons of fun all over the mountain. get 'em
