Afterbang, would be Anthems but the new graphic is ridiculous.  I wish they had not done Gapers

but you cant really say the graphic doesnt matter.

i mean, at least for me, if im buying something im looking down on 30+ times a year for multiple years, i better like it.

S5s. Dopest ski ever. Fat enough to slay pow, light enough for park, stiff enough for pipe, and on top of all that it doesn't really matter what your skiing because it slays everything. I was doing slalom turns down ice moguls and enjoying it. So gnar.

if they're unchanged from this years anthem i would say they're worth it to buy purely based on performance.
the graphic just really doesnt do much for me.

I'm stoked on the alpha 1's. This years were so sick.

I definately want to test out Ced's new ski aswell, possibly buy it just to show my support to the pirate.

I'd say Armada JJ. And although we shouldn't really choose a ski by the graphic I don't think many people can honestly say that their choice of skis wasn't to a certain extent influenced by what they look like.
