they suck.  and at your weight even more.  Get Reno Jibs if you want a sym. park ski.

If you're looking for a soft ski with a wide platform for stability (and an awesome graffic) the Anthem is for you. Some of our riders are pretty tall and not light guys and seem to handle them fine. We're a little biased but hope that helps. They're in most shops that carry Line right now so you can go down there and talk to a shop guy. use the line dealer locator here. Good luck!

i would be one of those guys, at the line dealer and i would have to agree that this isnt a bad choice if you like a soft buttery ski with wide width under foot.  A matter of fact i weight about 200 pounds and i love these skis.  I am a fan of the stability on rails and boxes due to the waist width and also think the flex is just right for ripping in the park.  I would say go for it.
