Can't decided between the three, going to get something soon and could use some help with my selection.  Im 6'3 and ski mainly park but do love to hit up the backcountry booter, and hit up some powder.

I hear the anthems are amazing for all-mountain and park but are also 93 underfoot which would be awesome for somem BC booters too. At getboards.com they have a promo-video for them if you click the anthem ski

El Rey's are a lot fatter in person than I expected them to be. They have potential in the pow I'd say.

Anthems, but they only come in 178, that might be too small.

What is with all the 6'3'' people lately, i would say you should get the Anthems they are a really good ski they are built for park but are 93mm under foot so you can ride them out of the park in crud and pow deffinately the best ski out of the three you listed for backcountry kickers.
