Anthems for sure, very buttery, yet wide enough for the landings

I would say armada alpha 1 or 2. You can butter with them really well but they are stiff so you can do big jumps.

anyone know what the alphas are like on rails? was thinking a rockered ski but it seems theres a whole lot of good and bad stuff going round about them so not quite sure. in NZ we get quite a lot of  the 09/10 before you guys except salomon. so yea an 09/10 model of whatever ski is what im looking for
