you need to post more info.

Height/weight
ability
what you're skiing (park/all mtn/ back country/ etc)
what you want it for


Chronics are a great all around ski. Good park, good all mountain. The afterbangs are the replacement/upgrade of the invader, so they're 100% park orientated. Made for jibbing and rails. It's a construction system in its first year so there could be problems.

anthems would be a happy medium, slightly wider, stiffer than afterbangs for jumps, softer than cronics for jibs and just general playfullness

i would get the afterbangs if i was your size i think you would be able to ski with alot more power with them the chronics might not be maneuverable enough

At windell's this year i talked to LJ, and 2 other people that have ridden and tested the afterbang. They said it was just... meh. it was OK at rails, OK pop, OK responsiveness... just an OK ski. Everybody loves the chronic, its a great park ski. Go chronic.
