Would this work well? Are they too soft for hitting 40-50ft. jumps, would they wash out landing backseat, etc.? I demoed a pair at Whistler over April and loved the feeling of them on ultra small landings, but didn't have a chance to hit any larger jumps. I want to switch to a wide park ski, as I love the extra beef underfoot (90+) I have Punx right now. I've also been looking at K2 Domains.

Note that I live on the east and ski at a very small hill near my house. Pretty much all park. I really don't give two shits about all-mountain. I'm 5'9" 150 lbs. I'd probably get 171's, maybe 178's if I grow between now and when it's buy time.

Thoughts?

i hit 60+ foot jumps on invaders, they will ride fine, they are just a little softer so you have to land dead on. if you get them id get the 178s because youre gonna grow into them and anthems are insanely durable and will last you a while

Yeah that would be about an inch over my head, sounds perfect. But by landing "dead on" you mean I have to stomp everything or I'll wash out?

Yeah I'm gonna get 178's if I end up purchasing. I'm still concerned about stability though

i weigh like 175 and raced for a decent amount of time and can still shred jumps on my thrashed 171 invaders, unless you are absolutely insane on jumps you will be fine
