so i'm looking for some twins. i have found 2 that are pretty good, local, and arent that expensive. i found a pair of 178 of last years anthems with px12's for 350. CAD. read that again. CAD. check the exchange rate. or i could buy some Volkl ledge skis from last season, brand new with atomic ffg 412, or 4.12 w/e its called. for 350 plus shipping and 13% tax. should i just grab the anthems? i want some butteryness, not too much, but something that will be decently stiff on jumps.

I would suggest you look at the reviews section of the site, and then look at last year's skis.

However, I think they are both pretty well reviewed skis, so either would be a good choice, but I would go with the lines, partly because those are damn good bindings you could get on them.

Those skis are at two complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Addict Pros=super stiff, Anthems=super soft. Decide on what you want in a ski and then go from there.

what do you want to ski? do you like to carve/charge hard? cuz then the addicts will be better, they are stiffer. if you wanna butter and mess around more go anthems
