So i'm gonna be getting a job this summer so i can buy my own ski gear next year instead having to rely on my parents.

I'm around 5 11 and i'm 190 i ski in Ontario so we don't get a lot of snow. I'll be skiing 75% park and 25% everything else( groomers,ice some trees ans snow when there is snow)

I've been looking into surface watch lifes, line anthem, line invader and i'm open to other skis but i'm open to other skis and what size should i get

i want them to be soft enough to butter with ease but stable enough to not washout on big jumps

+karma to people who help

 
Moment Reno Jib. It's a little stiffer than the skis you mentioned. but at 190 you should be able to butter thee no problem. these are a perfect east coast park ski, not to mention that they absolutely kill it on ice.
 
any word on the watch lives?

those are the main skis i'm looking at right now

as in should i get 183s or 173s?

stuff like that
 
i would say line anthems the length would be perfect for you (178cm)....plus next years graphics are sick.

since your skiing 75% park are you more interested in getting symmetrical skis and center mounting them?
 
I think you should definitely go with the anthems. The invaders would be too soft of a ski for you probably. Anthems are some sweet fatties with their waist width at 93, and they are stiffer than invaders. So they stomp all landings, and never wash out. Also they are amazing for park, but also sick on groomers, ice, and pow. I'm around the same weight as you, and these are perfect for me. If you go with anthems you definitely will not regret it. Hope that helped bro.
 
so i got the whole anthem point of view

how about the watch lives?

those are the main things i'm looking into
 
^ a bit more info on line anthems...

i'm about your size (tad bit heavier) and i was really surprised at how the anthems handled. since they are soft ski, i though they would wash out on back seat landings and wouldn't perform on all mt terrain and boy was i wrong. they are actually one of the sickest skis i've ever ridden, super fun for park yet stable enough for all mt ripping. i even did some steeps on a few pow days and they went at it like nothing... and if you don't get too much soft snow where you live don't worry about the width, they carve like a mo-fo too!
 
the invaders are super light but they are not the most durable skis in the world my freind ripped his bindings out of them 3 times so he had to get a new pair

but they arent super exspensive and they do rock in the park
