I thought I had found the perfect ski. The Anthems were so perfect. But then KISS Killed them. Fuck You KISS! So now Im looking for a new ski. I want something like the Anthems. A fat and flexible ski. Not to flexible to the point that its just a noodle, but flexible enough to easily pull off some butters. Newschoolers can you help me?

Have you ever considered maidens? They're really soft but maybe too fat for you.

I already have Public Enemys but I want something different. Something a little wider then the PEs.

check out the scratch BC's. the wrs are wider than anthems, but the Pro's (?) are a bit skinnier.

The AK, or better known as Made'n AK. A bit fatter but still way doper. Then again 90mm underfoot you could go PocketRocket/Gun and get a nice soft foam core.

I'd have to say the ARV. Nice fat waist and buttery soft.

Anybody who has said MSP probably hasn't skied them, and thus doesn't realize just how stiff they are. True, they're far from the stiffest ski on the market, but they are NOT even CLOSE to comparable to the (supposed) flex of the Anthem. Don't get me wrong, I have a pair of MSPs and I think they're a great all-mountain ski, but they're just not what this guy is looking for.

what you're looking for is sprayer bcs, like 90 underfoot, buttery, but not noodles. basically what you look for in a fat park ski.
