heard they softened up the liberty lte's this year, but stiffened the base so you dont lose stability on jumps if that helps, only heard good things about these skis as well

Don't get Anthems.  they suck at everything.  Armada Thalls are going to be much better(09s and 2010s have a flex point, 08s and before are soft throughout) than Anthems.  Obviously I haven't skied Blue Steeles, but bamboo is super poppy and I've never seen a bad ON3P review

the anthems dont suck. they have the pop, durability, and flex pattern to be a kickass park ski. and at the same time have the sidecut, width, and the stiffness to shred the groomers. they appear to be wide enough not to struggle in pow but i havent taken them into the pow yet

A little shameless repping I suppose. The ON3P Blue Steele is a bamboo core symmetrical park ski that is completely flat underfoot. Poppy, stable, but way butterable and playful.

They actually have 5mm of camber per ski.  Not a HUGE amount, but it definitely there.
