Im looking for a ski good on rails/boxes, pretty flexible, good pop, and lightweight. I had it narrowed down to the k2 disorderlys and line anthems.. thoughts anyone? suggestions?

I am kind of having this dilemma too.. I have a pair of Anthems and they are sick.. way buttery, I'm thinking the Disorderlys aren't as soft.. they do have a sidewall though which I like..

compare the weights on the websites. remember though, the anthem is wider, not by much, but it still might make a difference. i'm pretty sure the disorderly is stiffer, which will be nicer on jumps.

I've got disorderlys and i like them. The top sheets chip a lot but they are good park skis, no edge problems no base problems they butter good, pretty light, i can still destroy groomers on them. And they have less sidecut which i like, they're 109-85-109.

I have disorderlys and next year i WILL be getting Anthems. My disorderlys are chipped like crazy, they are kind of on the heavy side, and after 25 days of riding, the edge has cracked and is pulling out a little bit. Definately not that soft, depends on your weight im only 130 and they are medium flex, definately going for the anthem next year though for me.

simple, If you want a wider ski get the anthem and if you want a narrow ski get the disorderlys.
They are both soft and the anthems are probably a tad heavier because they are fatter.

179cm K2 Disorderly= 1961.2 grams. 4.3237059 lbs. per ski.

178cm LINE Anthem= 1994.1 grams. 4.396238 lbs. per ski.

That's the math:)

At 179cm, the Disorderly is lighter than the 178 Anthem. So I'll let you infer as to the weight diference between a 169cm Disorderly and a 171 Anthem:)

but schmies, its the inverse square law, as the size goes down, the mass increases quadratically.

and don't forget that led binding mat that you guys put in the 169 but not the 179,


jesus people are slow.
