Ok so i broke my skis and i need new one im thinking Line Anthem or Armada Arv, im 157cm tall and 95lbs i ski about 65% park and 35% pow (pow has been a little rare this year and i can only ski backcountry with my bro) (sorry for another thread like this but i need to decide this week)

Anthem-  Seems park specific and where should i mount?, center sucks for pow. 171 or 161?

Arv-  Not wide enough for pow?  Good in park?

ok heres the deal, anthems are condidered park specific beacuse of how they are mounted, but they are not. i have them (please refer to my review in my signature for more info) and they slay everything. sure, maybe not as good as a ski that is specific for pow, but people that say you cant ski centered for pow, have never skied centered for pow. it's a little different yes, but they still kill it. i've had chest deep days this year on them and they are amazing. ARVs i know nothing about...

i agree, you can shred pow/all-mountain with a center mount ski. i have the 04-05 ARV's and i center mounted them, and they killed it for pow and all mountain, but i think i may mount them -2cm from center now that i got new boots cuz i never use those skis in the park.
