if ur guna be skiin powder neither of the skis are suitable for u..im not the powder expert but i can tell u tht chornics and anthem arent made for it. if u lookin for a stiffer ski tht is a very stable on big jumps go chronics..anthems are fatter waist and very butter and playful..the exact same as the invader but fatter and a tad more stiff.. and can still hit fairly big size jumps without being outta control. so if u llike hiiten big features than go wit chronics and if u like playful jibbing griding and pretty large jumps than rock the anthems.. but if ur lookin to do both pow and park have u thoght bout surface or kung fujas?

 i thought the anthem would be wide enough to handle some powder that wasnt really intense.  i will look into the kungfugas though. thanks

most likely..I mean they are nowhere near a powder ski even though people say they are. I think they could hold up. Maybe not so much for half pow half park but it is better then the chronic.

I agree with the guy above.

The Anthems will do fine with a bit of powder, but once you start talking about a foot or more the Kung would definitely be a better choice.  The Kung Fujas has a better all mountain feel, but still nice and soft in the tips and tails.

4frnt VCT's are the shit, kill it everywhere. 104 under foot, but super poppy. I've skied almost everything from line, and I didn't think they made anything that handled groomed, chop, sunbaked, pow and park soo well.
