I'm 5'9" 155 lbs and I'm looking around for some good skis. I'll probably be skiing 60% park 25% groomers and 15% pow. I need something super durable especially on the bases. I'm on the east coast so most of the groomers are ice by noon, and pow days are rare. I like to carve and push hard on groomers, so no noodles please :D
I like the look of the line anthem/blend/chronic and moment reno jibs/rocker look fun, but I can't decide.
Also, the cheaper the ski the better
Any suggestions from someone who has tried these?
 
my opinion would be to not go with the moment, although i love the ski they just dont hold up, i broke 3 pairs... dont get me wrong the skis feel amazing! they just cant take constant jumps and rails. good luck with whatever brand you go with
 
I already have some stiff all mountain skis with 85 underfoot though, the 07/08 PE's. I want something light and better for park, will the chronic be much different?
 
If you already have the PEs maybe look into something a little wider under foot like the line Blend. Its 100 under foot, super light, kills in both park and all mountain.
 
Are the blends good park skis? I'm worried about skiing them due to how wide they are... How do they hold an edge on ice?
 
I tried both the Blends and the Prophet 100. I preferred the Prophet 100. Its a clean ski that you can take on powder runs.. and the park. You wont really notice that it has 100 waist.
 
The prophet 100 and the blend have similar side cuts and are both 100 in the waist. The Prophet has a layer of metal and is stiffer. The prophet is better for all mountain and the blend would be better for park.
 
IMO, I love my anthems and I ski 40%Park, 40% Groomers and 20% Pow-Trees when I can.

The thing is I can't stand a stiff ski. Lizzies are a nice ski to but are quite the noodle.
 
Pretty durable so far. If you don't like the graphics, get octolands or spirals. I have octolands.

They have been taken in Pow, Trees, Ice, Ice+chunks, Box, Rail, Landing, on a landing that was a foot deep in ice to the point where when i landed it felt like my stomach was in my ball sack.

One small top sheet chip. That is all.
