Anthems broken, Looking for a skis

So I need suggestions on skis.  I love anthems, nice and flexy, symmetrical and fat. 

I could go anthems again, but they are no the most durrable, im a big guy, I skis anywhere between 178 - 185,  Looking for somthing with no less than an 85mm waist, I ski mainly park only (I have pow skis) but if I don't have them at the mountain I still want to be able to ski on a pow day. 

I really like the Bluehouse Antics, but I would like a few more suggestions.  Afterbangs are out of the question too, not a fan. 

Good reccomendations get karma!

check out fortitude skis http://www.fortitudeskis.com They are the dopest skis I've ridden. They aren't too stiff but not too soft either, just perfect flex. Very stable on jumps and still playfull on rails. The graffics are so sick and different. Quality skis for sure! And they are 90 mm underfoot I think. Hit me up if you have any questions!

Personally, Kung fujas seem like the ski you want. Why don't you want k2 out of curiosity because like i said the kung fujas seem PERFECT for you?

Sidewall chips, Fujas don't have the tail width I want, Its more of a All mountain powder twin, I want a beefy park ski

Line Chronic Kryptonites, Armada ARVs, Volkl Wall, Line Chronic, Line Blend, Line Elizabeth if you want really wide.

Is your park more jumps or rails?

pretty much an even split, but i'd say 55% jumps 45% rails

Well pretty much any ski with sandwhich construction will get sidewall chips, my Blends have a lot of chips but nothing that even comes close to getting through the ABS into the core. That being said, the Blends would be a pretty good choice. I had anthems as well and I replaced them with these and I love them. They aren't as flexy as the anthems, but still really sick skis.

good luck with your decision
