Im trying to pick out a pair of skis for the season, im not too great at skiing but progressing, what i ski at my home mountain is like %40 powder, %40 groomers, and like 20 park, this season im want to get into park more but before i get my skis i want to get better at it.
right now im riding some black and orange rossignol scratch skis, about 166cm, but i tried my friends line skis and they were allot funner, and they were old line skis, ive been checking out ther new line website, and im thinking about the afterbangs, but i dont know how good they are for powder..
the other line skis look pretty good too, and the salomon suspects seem trustworthy.

how deep is the pow and and are you going to take these skis in the powder a lot or do you have others for that? If your going to be doing a lot of powder and park on the same ski you may want look into some rockered park skis like the Armada Alpha series or Moment Reno Rockers too. I don't ski too much powder (we don't get much on the East Coast) but I've heard the Anthems do pretty well in it if you're only looking at Line, Also the Chronic Kryptonite is a good thought (It's the same ski as the Chronic but with a wider underfoot - good for Park, All Mountain and Pow).

thanks, powder is pretty deep, and my hill (whitewater bc) has allot of it, i just came from rossignol blast skis, im not sure how great they were in powder but as long as my new skis aren't worse then them its probably fine.
the anthems look good, still wondering why there are snowboarders on them, the main thing with the chronics is the flex, ive heard its not so great..
