Hi folks.. Im trying to narrow my choices..

I am. 6.3 and weights about 177.

Last year I rode the pipe cleaner for a week. And it totally killed on the groomers and jumps. Didnt take it to rails thou. Was too afraid.

How are the anthem and suspect going to compare to the pipe cleaner?

I know that the pipe cleaner is veryyyy stiff, and the suspect is kinda stiff too. The anthem should be on the softer side.

What would the advantage of a soft ski be?

I have the 07/08 Anthems and I like them a lot, they are A LOT softer than the pipe cleaners and suspects. But they do hold up pretty good on rails, its just a little harder to do some rail tricks because of the bigger underfoot.

Im looking for a stiffer ski, actually both the skis you listed and the Chronics. I just want something more stable and stiffer. I find that being 6'1" and 175 around your size that i wash out with the anthems sometimes. That is why Im looking at a stiffer ski.

Hey. My local store only carries the limited edition anthem.. What is the difference between that anthem and the new 08/09 anthem?

All that is different is the graphic, it is just a custom graphic designed by Line's Eric Pollard. The construction and everything is the same.
