I'm getting a new pair soon and need to know. I ski about 80% park 20% whatever. In the park i do 50/50 rails and jumps. I'm 5'4 and weigh 120lbs. I want something light, durable, and very light swing weight! ++++++k for ANY answers

my roommate has the antics. from what he says they're an awesome ski. he's like 6'4 and rides the 181 cm, but he says they're by far the lightest pair of skis he's had. and they look like they hold up great.

i'd go with antics. my next ski purchase with most likely be the antics or something of bluehouse's

antics all the way. personally rode both. Though i rode my buddies team editon antics which seem to be stiffer than the standard ones but the antics in general are a wonderful ski.

I love Antics.  I bought a pair last season and loved them and since they aren't super expensive I bought a new pair for this season too.

i ride antics, 181 centermounted im 6' 165ish and love them. they kill all mountain, and are killer in the park, super poppy and more durable than my ARV's have been. The base isnt as fast as the ar7 would be, but although i havent skied ar7's i love the antics and would def get another pair.

On the Blue house website there's three different antics?? Are they just separated due to there graphics or are they different models of the antics??

One last thing to add, is that Bluehouse has incredible customer service in the case that something does go wrong with your skis.

this, this, this, this!

when i bought my antics a couple months ago, fed ex said they dropped it off, but it wasn't there, and my dad was home all day. i posted it on their facebook and they were very concerned and did all they could to help (contacting fed ex, and me personally) i got them the next day, and deleted the post, and a week later i got a personal e mail from them making sure i got it, because they weren't sure.
they run one hell of a great company.
i seriously doubt i will ever buy from anyone other then bluehouse.

Bahh, I would be buying them very soon but I just tore a big tendon attaching to my Achilles.. Only out for two weeks by luck! Any worse and it would be a year. Well at least I don't feel obliged to get 2 day shipping (on the up side.).
