id say look into the elizabeth. i ride it east coast and like it a lot in the park and its super fun in pow... if you already have a pow ski then id get the anthem. Its a great park ski, super fun to play on and also has some width to it for pow pow.

171 jibbs would be perfect for you if you have an alternate pow ski.  best advice is try skis and whichever ones you like best go with those.  find whoever's moments you were riding and try some other moments; you won't be disappointed.

well as for why you should choose the anthems, they're going to help you with learning corks.  the elliptical sidecut lets you set your carves really well coming off the lip.  as for rails and such, center mount is pretty much where its at (in my opinion).  having the extra width underfoot is also definitely a plus.  i'm 5'9", 155 and just took my 178s out to utah, where i had no problem with them.  it was only in powder that was more than waist deep that i started to wish i had a wider ski.  it was also wide enough to be effective on bc kickers, etc.  the butter zones make the ski super fun, and if you have the opportunity to try out a pair, you definitely should.

so i went to the factory saturday and they made a new ski for next year.
Moment Donner Party. Rockered and Reverse Camber.
You should get those when they come out next year.
I think they are actually on display at Shred and Butter if you want to check them out.

dude get the chronics for sure. i got em and i love em more than any twin ive ever bought. i actually got to try them out in pow because i went to tremblant when they got like two feet of snow it was sick adn they float you on top of it soooo well. they are wicked for jumps and you can really stomp the shit out of your landings. and a bonus is you can actually ski all mountain on them and you wont have a problem. seriusly, get them, you wont be disapointed.
