Ive heard a lot of good stuff about both skis, but i have a couple of questions about them

which one is a stiffer ski?

which rides better in icy/northeast conditions?
 
The jib will have much better edge hold on the ice, and will outshine the anthem on piste.

The jib will be much stiffer but so poppy.

Depending whether you want a park ski that struggles outside the park or a park ski that kills it everywhere is up to you.

My vote goes jibs FTW!
 
Have you really heard anything about either of these skis?

hmmmm

jib=stiffish

anthem=not stiff

both=poppy

both are multidirectional.

jibs have square tips and anthems have snubby tips, I prefer the square tips, people seem to like them.

dead center mount on both, seriously.

The anthem is wider, but given the choice I would ride the jib on a snowier day. I like em better, dont ask me why.

I like the graphics on the new jibs better too, but I suppose that is subjective.

Theyre both pretty light, but having said that I think that the jib is lighter, and more durable. The anthem isnt a shitty ski by any means, but in my mind a sidewall will always be stronger than a capped ski.

Way more camber on the jib, way easier to butter on the anthem, anthem is dec at speed, but the jib is laser turbo if you want to carve, and doesnt chatter like the anthem.

Im not very objective am I?

but now you know, and knowing is half the battle. (GI JOE)

 
i personally have ridden invaders(same as anthem except skinnier) and jibs, and jibs are faster, better control, stiffer, still fun to play with, carve amazingly, way more durable, and lighter than the invaders, although i still love my invaders i would recommend the jibs. the invaders and anthems are both very good skis too but neither one of them last very long, maybe 2 seasons at the most. but there are also a lot of pluses for the line skis.
