Im
5'9
150lb
I live West Coast, San Diego area so BIg Bear is the closest mountain.
Im gonna be riding mainly park, so i was thinking Anthems, cause i also like jumps and i hear Chronics are much better for airs. Also I can get a pair of chronics from REI at $214 right now and Anthems happen to of sold out (they were for about $200) so i was maybe thinking invaders instead cause they are about $160. And i have never had a ski that butters so im been curious to test it out next season.
And finally what would be a good length and bindings to go with them.

that really just comes down to the flex u want
yes the chronics are stiffer and yes they will be more stable on jumps
the invader is a good ski from what i have seen even for jumpin, but bigger riders (id say about ur size) seem to thrash those skis

if u want to take a chance in durability for a nice soft flexy ski inveader is good
if u want to take the safe road id say chronics

as for size:
chronics 181
invader 178

bindings:
i cant really say anything sor sure but dont get anything lower then a 12 din
look for deals on look/rossi, and salomon STPs
