I am still wondering about which ski i should get between the invaders and the anthems, I have used the searchbar many times and still would like some more info... I was really wondering if since i am on the east coast and only riding park with these skis do i really need the wider skis

Oh and I am 6'2 185ish

if your east coast i dont think that youll need that much underfoot. you will find the invaders easier to spin with and honestly, if you want the anthems take them because the added underfoot will always bring you more stablilty for your landings.

I was on invaders last year and I loved them. I'm 6'3 and 185. I think anthems will be a little more stable.

Yea everybody is saying wider skis are much more fun on rails then smaller skis, and i really am big on rails and not so much on air tricks

I used my 175 Guns for park for half of last year, and with fat skis you can stomp the shit out of landings.

go with the anthems you're a big guy and you'll probably benefit quite a bit from the extra width. It's stiffen up the ski just a little bit so it'll flex for you the was an invader would flex for a smaller person and of course the added stability you'll get with it.

And the graphics are amazing

Imma be using some THAs for park jumps and those are 109 waist. Just go for the anthems. At your weight, you'll appreciate the added stability.

from snowblades to Tha 187s? mad, sick props to you mang. I rode centermounted moships for park all last year and they killed it. I'll never ski anything under an 87 waist for park again.

ya I used scratch BCs all year in the park last season. It was great they have a 98 waist. Anthems are still a park specific ski to so you'll have no problems with them
