I heard bad stuff about the threat, as with the rest of salomons park skis this year. However i have the disorderlys and like them, they're a little on the heavy side but they flex nice. The topsheet chips a lot but tmy edges and bases are fine, and all i do is rails.

I personaly think solomon is the better brand overall than K2... i have the k2 silencers and i don't like them at all, their heavy not very flexable and are not durable... if i were u i would go with line and get the invaders great all around... good flex, lightweight, not the best durability, but are relitively inexpensive but thats just what i think

between the two skis your mentioned, the disorderly is a better ski for both performance and durability. and for a girl skier, it has a good medium flex that will be forgiving yet stable.

lotta good skis already mentioned but example say ....if you r 130 lbs ( + or -7lbs) and like to stay out all day and park & pipe maybe the Armada ARW at 166cm  is 4 u. It is softer than the Ar6.  Or an easier ski is the Armada Cantika - a cap construction ski. They do all mtn hardpack well.

Or if you ski where u get more pow go 4 the ARV or ARVw they are wider and do park & pow.  

gotta think of if u want a soft, medium or stiffer ski  - ice coast or pow....   good luck

There are two versions of the limited edition. the Octos and Spirals. They're both the same as the anthem besides the graphics. From what I know the Anthems are basically a beefed up Invader. A pretty soft jib ski. 92 underfoot. Everyone I know who has them loves them. Here's the product description.

"With 93mm underfoot and a 119mm tail and shovel, the Line Anthem Alpine Ski gives you stability for large terrain, while Butter Zones and Carbon Ollieband construction ensure plenty of pop and smooth handling. Take this symmetric-flex twintip to the park and use the carbon fiber ollieband (pre-stretched, vertically laminated carbon-fiber stringers) to get a little more boost out of those trannies. Line's Butter Zones taper parts of the tip and tail so there's a distinct “hinge-point” for controllable nose presses and butters off boxes. Line's fiberglass layering around the core and the Fatty base and edges give you extra thickness so you won't have to miss epic rail sessions with blown edges and bases."

every one who has anthems really likes them

id say the 161's are for you based on weight but they also have 171's if your more of an advanced skier

here are some from porters for really cheap

I recently got the Anthem Spirals from Porter's and would totally recommend them. Free shipping + No tax = win. And I believe they have both LTD in 161cm and then the Octoland in 171cm.
