Im gonna get some new skis this year and i cant decide.  Im between the...

Line Anthems
Rossignol Ghetto FS
Salomon Thrusters

Im 6 2' and about 155.  I ski in the midwest so I really don't have to worry about powder performance.

Which ski would you suggest along with bindings?

Im also open to other suggestions...

What type of skiing are you looking to do on said skis.  The Dumonts would be better for an all mountain ski, but the Anthems are going to be a better Jib ski.  Help me help you.

I'll probably do like 70% park and 30% groomers, but I want a ski that will be fun all over to mess around on.  I would only buy 07-08's (dont have the money for 09's)

With that info, you could go with they typical answers: Chronic for a bit more stable all mountain ski that might be a little stiff in the park, or something that might be a little soft like the Anthems or the Invaders.

I wouldn't disagree with those, but the Fischer Addict Pros (a little stiffer with a true twin shape) or the Volkl Walls would be a rad choice.

I know I just posted my competitors link, but hey, I think they're two solid choices.

well if your gonna get 181s, consider the 08 dumonts out. i've looked everywhere for those skis in 181 and can't seem to find any. if you find any though, get them, they're definitely sick skis. actually don't get them give them to me.
