alright so me and my brother work at a ski shop and this kid came and asked us what skis he should get. It's a final sale so there wasn't much left except for like anthems and 2 years old rossi blings. The guy just started doing park and would ski a lot of ice coast mountain, he skis about 20 times a year. I told him to get the anthems and my brother told him to get the blings, who do you think was right?

Anthems suck..and on ice would be horrible.  "starting park" needs to be more specific, but knowing nothing about Rossi Blings I will say those(based on good rossi park skis, not bad ones.  Good rossi park skis are a ton better than Anthems(well, even cheap rossi park skis..).

you REALLY hate anthems, it blows me away.

depends on the specs for the blings, wood core, sidewall and 85 underfoot? that would be better on ice. 80, foam core and cap? well then anthems is the way to be.
