im getting new skis and i was wondering if the Line Anthem would be too soft for me. Im 1.90m and 205lb.
i mostly ride park and some pow too.

if it is too soft, which ski would you recomend for me? i would like a playfull ski which isnt too floppy with my weight.

thanks allot for your help.

Symmetrical park skis aren't great in pow, and that ski is soft even for those who are smaller than 205 lbs.  You should look at something a little more sturdy.

Yeh I wouldnt recommend them for someone 205 pounds i weigh 117 and there a little soft for me even. I'd recommend the Line Chronics there sturdier and still great in and out of the park

@ 200lbs i used to have a pair of anthems. yeah they were soft but very stable at highs speeds too. even got a few pow turns in and they seemed ok although not great. all in all, a very versatile soft park ski, i guess it all depends on prefference. if you don't want soft then stay away from these, same goes if you need something to perform in pow.... again, these are park skis.

good answer but i would recommend the chronic cryptonite its a bit wider underfoot and would hold up a bit better in park/ pow
