how easily are they chipping?
and by chipping do you mean like chunks of the skis come off?
like the fibercap will have gashes in em?

I just got the spiral anthems, and I freaking love them.  They are probably the best skis I have ever owned.  They tend to bang up easy on the top sheets, but that is just cosmetic and does not effect the performance

man dont go and spend all the extra money on the octolands, they are the same exact ski as the regular models just bumped up price because EP drew the topsheet.  If you want anthems then get the normal ones. you save money. Dont get me wrong im not bashing the octolands, i just think its smarter to pay less for the same exact ski,   i have regular anthems and they are the best skis i have ever had, and one of the best buys out there.

I bought line anthem's octoland, and I live in Ak and I wanted to progress a lot in park. For park, they are amazing. You can carve easy and fun, but because of the center-mount going through pow was horrible, they are a really park/groomer ski. The design on them is crazy awesome, and I only got them for $20 more than the orgiinals.
