Okay, I'm heading to Mammoth in a few days and I have time to demo two skis and decide what to buy.

I'm 150 lbs, 5'11", west coast, mostly park but I head to powder whenever there is some.

I'm want something a bit soft for park, but stiff enough to do trees, powder and carving on groomers. Something with pop and on the lighter side too.

I need to pick two of these: ARVs, AR6s, MSPs, or Chronic Blends. If you have any other suggestions that would be awesome.
 
From what you ride I think that if you wait until next year the anthems will be perfect for you, they are park oriented but fat enough to not be useless in the park.

I definitely am thinking about getting a pair next year if I can afford 'em
 
my friend rocks the ARV in the 160- somethin and he takes them all over. from the park hittin the rails, to the steep and deep. get those
 
Yea, I'm really disappointed about the anthems, anyway, thanks guys, from your suggestions I think I'll try to demo three if I can, the MSPs, ARVs and Blends. The foil does look good, but the foam core seems kinda iffy to me. Thanks again.
 
don't sweat the foam core man. the foam core foil will hold up to a hell of a lot more than the flimsy ass arv. stick with something more stout. i'm always afraid i'm going to snap those things when i ride them.
 
I would like to wait for next year's anthems, but I really want some skis that can handle powder and trees and I don't have any that can right now.
 
people exaggerate that shit alot, my buddy has old 1080's (robot graphic) that are just starting to lose their pop after 4 years of hard abuse, don't worry about it unless you only buy skis every 5 years or so
 
Alright, awesome, so I'll probably demo the Blends and either the MSPs or Foils, although the Foils sound a bit thin at an 85mm waste for pow. Anyway, thanks guys, you made this a lot easier to decide.
