Hey Guys

I'm heading off to america and canada for a month in janurary and wanna pick up a new pair of skis while over there, most likely off jibij.

now the 3 I am thinking of are

178 Line Anthem
178 Line Invader
181 Moment Reno Jib

I just wanna hear some experiences from you that have tried them.

i was really thinking the reno jib for a while, but then i saw the anthem is 93 underfoot and still has a symetrical sidecut and thought the extra waist would be good for some deeper snow.

back at home in australia i ski at buller and the ski will mainly be used for park and a little free ride, not that much here though, so i want too enjoy the deep snow in canada and also the crude in Oz.

thanks.

PS can anyone post a pic showing the rockered profie of the reno rocker?

I skied Anthems all last season.  Very soft ski, really fun, but it's mostly a park ski and it can do groomers switch real nicely.  Too soft to be a real all mtn. ski.
Reno Jibs are a bit stiffer and would be better at all mtn. or if you like a stiffer park ski.

both companies are very sick though.
I have 2 pairs of Lines and a pair of Moments.

I like both Line and Moment.. Last year i rode lizzies and I LOVED them and this year I have two pairs of moments.. But the Jib is a much 'better' ski than the Invader or anthem.. More solid, more all mountain ability.. Better unless you want a price point ski to trash.. As for the rocker.. Here is a picture of the rocker profile.. This is before use and it does 'rocker' a little more over time.. Sorry for camera phone quality..

i mean i dont know if this helps but i was up in the air between the two companies for like a month...i was either going to get some bacons or some ruby's. i eventually decided the bacons were just too huge and i didnt want lizzies so i went with the ruby's. they are SICK skis though and moment makes a solid product, im very very stoked about taking them out soon. again, though, i dont really know if that helps because i was in the market for a pow ski. you cant go wrong with moment though. plus you'll get that "cool" factor over in australia cause nobody you know will have them.

wow the rockers look pretty good, not a huge rocker, would be alot of fun too bash around on.

i've decided i dont  want the invaders for some reason.

the moments seem like they are getting a bit of backing, but the stiffness is worrying me, i like a soft nose coz i wanna be able too butter well, and the anthems are soft and a bit fatter.

the steeze factor of the jibs makes them awesome lol.

Anthems would probably be fine for you.
There are some Fischer Addict Pro's on TD right now for $200, those are like the Moments but mad cheap for now.
