alright i need new skis at the end of this year. i am 6' 1" and 165 pounds. i ski about 50/50 park and all mountain. i know that everyone says longer is better but i was looking for something between 171-178. i had the new 174 foils, the 176 ar6 or maybe the anthem or invader in mind. i prefer a softer ski as i am light for my height. any suggestions?

ok umm invader cat hold up out of park espeically for your size. anthems dont exist and foils well, they might be a bit tooo soft. a very good alternative though could be the chronic wide or blend as well as public enemies.

uh, for 50/50, why would you even concidor Invaders? Look into some Publuc Enemies, Scratch FS, Sprayer BC, etc. Also, where do you ski. All mountain in BC is different that all mtn in Ontario....
