Nope, the walls are suuuuuuper stiff and not really something you will want to be buttering around on. If you want to sacrifice the buttering, you will end up with a ridiculously poppy ski with the walls. However if you want a flexier, softer ski, go with the Anthems. They are both good choices just a bit different from each other.

Hey, since you already have fugitives, why not get the Walls? You already have a super buttery ski, why not get a ski that kills it on jumps and all over the mountain? Yeah the walls are stiff, but you can butter on 'em, just takes a wee bit of effort. Or get the Anthems if you want another super soft ski or if your fugitives are too short, or just destroyed. I have the Anthems and love them, but I skied the Walls at Stratton last year and absolutely loved them, I also own Karmas and love them too.

it just depends on weather you like a pretty stiff and popy ski or a kind of soft popy ski

Either ski will be cool,  I personally prefer a softer ski for park cause I like to butter and shit.

yehi think i'd like the Anthems too, i figured buttering out and made skiing the whole mountain a wee bit more fun, of little ledges and knolls and shit, i need to figre it out onto boxes tho. a softer ski is gonna b a bit more forgiving right?
