im looking to buy a new pair of skis and i went to the shop to check out the anthems in the 171 size (im about 5'8). i put the 171 anthem back to back with the 177 afterbang just for sizing and they were pretty much the same length... could anyone explain this to me??

The distance between those two lines is 6 cm. Is that how much the difference was about?

I have 09 Anthems in 178, and my brother has '10 Anthems in 178 also, but when put base to base, the 2010 is actually longer.

The 09 Anthem is the same size, if not a bit shorter than a 176 Suspect. Weird.

line sizing is very sketchy. if they are the same size however....you should most definitely get the anthems. wider just as light if not more buttier not likely to break in half. seriously tho get at em while you can they are incredible skis all over the mountain

in my experience line anthems in a 171 measure out to about 175-176
