Fatty Soft Skis

As the title says, I'm lookin for some fatty skis that are pretty soft. I'm pretty light and I enjoy softer skis. Currently I'm looking at the Anthems specifically, I would really like to find some of these. The moment ruby's also look interesting.

What others should I look at? I'm about 140 lbs, 5'11".

Not really looking for a rocker. I thought the Ruby's were soft, but I guess I was wrong. You said the Melee's are? I'll look into them.

The SFB's are a little too wide for what I'm looking for too. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on Anthems? They don't have to be new.

What other skis can I look around for?

Too wide, they're like 115 or something aren't they?

I'd like a 92-100 or so I think...MSP's are wider but stiff right? Any volkl's that might be good?

Anthems seem to be a pretty good deal at their normal retail price of $379, I know soemone was selling a pair with bindings on here a while ago, so maybe searchbar to see if they are still available.

EP Pros are soft as balls..Almost too soft to even have fun on in anything but pow I bet, but then again Ive never skied them.. The Rubys are definitely NOT stiff. Check my review in the review section..Its pretty in depth. I would opt for Moments over Lines any day, or any large company for that matter..

I have both Rubys and Tahoes and love them. Rubys have a similar flex to the 05/06 Gotamas. They are super easy to ski, but are super super stable. Highly recommended. PM me if you have any specific questions.

I don't know if the Seths would be too stiff for what you are looking for, but I love mine.

You say fat then mention Anthems.
Fat = pow,    Anthems= Park,    therefore: Anthems= not fat

Get Bacons.  Bacons have a huuuge sidecut so it makes it seem like they are not as fat. 
Bacons are ill as fuck though.

Ok well I guess I don't mean fat, but I want some wider skis that will still function in the park as well as on the rest of the mountain.

It sounds to me like anthems will do that. I just don't know if I want to spend 380 on them right now or not. Decisions Decisions.

ahh, my mistake.  Anthems are great all mtn. skis.  Symmetrical makes them a breeze switch.  In park they are just fucking amazing, stomp landings perfect due to waist width and really easy to spin with. 
I wouldn't recommend them in pow due to being symmetrical though.

Now, someone sell me a pair! Or trade for my Troublemakers :)

Seth Pistols if you can find them, or Nancys. They're the same ski, and aparently the same as next years new Fujas.

Ruby's are an amazing ski. I wouldn't call them stiff at all. It's a really good all round ski (you may think otherwise because of it's girth). I would recommend it

Melee's are rockered, he doesn't want them
