high society fr. 179
boone magicstick 170
anthems 171 or 178

yes they all are very different skis and i need some help deciding.

i weight about 130 and am 5'8. as you may have noticed all of those skis are a 93 waist. it is because i want a really stable ski that can also slide metal all day and not rip apart (durable). i spend allot of time in the park..

I also wanted to ask if anybody who has ridden the A-bangs could tell me they are pretty stable and wont washout on big tables like the invaders.

high society is not really a well known brand (im not saying its not good but if i were you i would go for a well known brand) so saying that i would go with anthems and everyone who has them likes them

I'd cross the boone's off 0f the list because i've heard about a lot of issues with durability, the HS FR's are a nice solid ski, my friend rides for them and loves em'. The anthems are also sick as well. so if i were you i'd go HS is youre doing like 50/50 park/all mountain or anthems in youre doing 75/25 park/all mtn.

word, or go anthems if your looking for a softer ski. also consider the bluehouse MR, which are also 93 underfoot and bamboo, just like the boones. i have heard more good things about the bluehouse than the boones however.

umm boones are the most durable ski ive ever owned...full season of shreddding no edge cracks, delams..even the top sheet is durable as heck! dosnt chip easy at all!
not to mention they are the most playful/fun skis in the world due to the bamboo core

Some of Boone's batch last year was not up to par, but most of them were. I have had no issues with my magic sticks. By far the most fun all-mountain ski I've ridden on. They are beefing up quality this year quite a bit and have are constantly finding new materials to use. I expect the magic sticks this year to be even stronger than the best produced last year.
