lizzie if you want a one ski quiver. i would get the lizzie if you can only have one because it is built to do it all. it sorta depends on how much pow you ski and how deep the pow normally is

Blends would be a wider park ski. Def wide enough for pow and good enough for the park. EP rides really fat skis in the park, so you might want to look at his skis. If none of those interest you, the anthem is a wider park ski, 93 mm waist, or the chronics which are stiffer and skinnier, 85 mm waist?, they are all sick skis tho.

Lizzies, the anthem could be a backup. it's wide enough to get you through some kinda sorta deep stuff but still slays park

Lizzies would be most enjoyable buttery smooth fatness...but I really don't like Anthems, and don't like Chronics much either.

Oh, but it is so retarded to stick to one brand.  have you even skied a Line ski, or are you just being a total follower?

what type of park skiing, what type of pow skiing?  we can give you ski ideas from there..

Chronic Cryptonites.

Stability of a park ski, width to handle pow.

Lizzies are gonna do the best in the pow and would be really fun in the park.

Chronics are gonna be a great jump ski that are super lightweight and a good built ski

Anthems will be great in the park and will be decent in the pow, i mean they aren't really a powder ski so dont expect much outta them

Afterbangs are in the same boat as the chronics just not as good at jumps do to a more flexy flex to the ski, but they would be super fun and really good at rails and afterbanging of course!

hopefully that helped. IMO id choose the lizzy.

this ^ lizzes would be a great one ski quiver .... i got the octos from last year and they are the same as the anthem and are great go anywhere tho sink a little so if your doing more pow then lizzies seem right choice to make! maybe even look at the blends...

Either Lizzie or Blend. Do not count out the blend in this situation. The lizzie might be too fat for you in the park, and the blend would be just as awesome for the skiing you do.

dude i would go for the lizzies for sure... last season my stls got stolen so i had to ride my lizzies in  the park all year, and it was amazing... theyre good on rails because of their waist and theyre also good on jumps cuz theyre so fat but theyre also mad flexible at the same time which makes them awsome... plus they only come in 172 so theyre small and you can still whip em around... if i were you id go lizzies.

Uhm, which pair of Line's has gay graphics?  The blend or Lizzie would be a good choice for you.  I can't wait to try my Lizzies.  For one ski though I would choose the blend just because it seems to do excellent everywhere.

so i was also having a similar debate but between the anthem or the afterbang i ski like 80% park and the other 20% is just the trees and whatever else we have in the east which is not much. I like to hit jumps a good amount so I am not just purely a rail skier which would ns say is better anthem or afterbang?

If your hitting jumps too then go with the anthem...afterbang is typically an all jib ski..

If you like a soft, playful, lively wide ski.
There is no substitute for the Lizzie.
Unless you want to buy my, much stiffer, much more damp old LL2s
