Anthems vs. T-Halls

So I've narrowed it down...
Strengths, weaknesses of both?  I believe the anthem is softer, which is lighter?  Which does all mountain better?

BTW I'm looking for a mostly park/jib ski that can survive occasional all-mountain.  I mainly do tech on rails and such, not so much jumps, so a good ski on rails would be the top priority. 
And I'm 5'4", 110lbs, and definitely still growing.

i prefer anthems, but it sounds like if you're skiing mostly rail and not so much jumps or anything outside of the park you might be better off with the t halls

Well, the anthems are definately not lighter but they're probably a better rail ski

Yeah you should do that, but if you don't want those, i would get anthems. I have a pair and they are my favorite skis ever

did u mean invaders vs. T.Halls    cause i would say that invaders compare more to T.Halls


i know the anthems and invaders have the same technology and such, but as far as dimensions go  the anthems will ski far different than the  armadas,  do too the dimensions


i have anthems, and they are sick, but im like 5'11'' 180lbs so i needed the anthems over the invaders
on that note when i bought them the shop tech was tellin me how someone my size would ruin T.Halls, but for you as long as you dont go gettin fat or anything either invader or T.Halls will work.


they seem like almost the same ski (minus the butter zones)so maybe just compare them on technology, looks,warranty,and user reviews.

but if you still want anthems get em,  the increased width underfoot deff. helps on rails they just may be alittle harder for a smaller person to control

I did mean anthems vs. t-halls, and I was asking because they are different and I wanted to know the strengths and weakness of both and which one would fit me better.  I'm definitely not a big guy and I probably won't be anytime soon, so I'm not too worried about that.

Oh really?  Thanks thats important because one of the reasons I would get t-halls is I was hoping they would last longer than anthems.

Which is lighter, T-Halls or Anthems?  Also, which is softer?

Those skis are meant for different things. Hard to compare for that reason.
