Anthem: Symmetrical, center mounted park skis. Really soft. Mid fat underfoot

Elizabeth: Not Symmetrical (but very close to it), much wider underfoot. More aggressive sidecut than the anthem. Also really soft. It's what I would consider a "backcountry jib" ski (Even though that's an oxymoron) If you dont specifically want a ski like the elizabeth then it probably isn't for you.

Basically what every1 has said.

elizabeth is indeed a park ski though just with a really fat underfoot and a really soft flex.

anthem stiffer flex (but still soft) not as wide and probably a better more park oriented ski depending on what kinda park skier you are.

i suggest e-mailing line, watching the videos on both skis on the website or just keep looking at the answers to this, you'll find one eventually.

more info about yourself would help too

you should look into the line chronics because they are stiffer than the anthems, better for your size

Im 6'1 160 pounds, ive got two sets of anthems 178 and they are a really fun park ski and really good all around surprisingly. If the snow is anything but hard pack you can rip around on these no problem.

As said above the elizabeths are purpose skis and not really great for anything outside of that. So if you dont ski that head for the anthems! they are a blast!
