Completeing the Ski Quiver

Like the title I am on the hunt to complete my ski quiver. I ski the east coast so I dont really need a powder ski. I currently have 178 Line Anthems.

Other info I'm 6'1" 175lbs and ski 90% park. So what do you guys think would be a good ski to complete my quiver. Ohh and binding suggestions would be nice also.

why would you need another ski? unless you want two park skis, if you dont ski powder then you should be fine on the anthems

I want something stiffer for bigger jumps and something with a little smaller underfoot.

this isn't what you asked for (lol sry), but if i were you i'd pick up a pair of rossi scratch brigades in 185. they'll be stiffer than the anthems and they'll be great for jumps in the park, while also being a better all mountain/east coast powder ski than your anthems are. and then have your anthems for rails and jibs. they'll also be cheaper than a lot of park skis might be (walls, JO pros) cause they're last years. and then you won't have two park skis.

a similar ski might be the k2 kung fujas but they'll be more $$$. check out the scratch brigades.

chronics for sure.
i personally like them more than the walls, plus you get to stay with line.

Yeah those brigades are nice, but I only saw them in like 160's. So Im kinda leaning toward the Chrons; plus Line has never let me down before.

But anyone know of a good super light binding for semi cheap.

isn't the griffin to low a din for him? and what about the ar6 or suspect. but i dont know how big they go, that may be a problem. my suggestion is: lay of the horse tranquilizer.

haha yeah, but i thought the griffon is a 4-12 din (correct me if im wrong) and as far as ar6 and suspect, i was looking at both and id go with the suspect over the ar6. So if anything its gonna be between the ar6 and the chronic.
