I've been looking to get some new skis, and I've narrowed it down to thes two. I ride about 50/50 park to mountain. I want a pretty soft ski, thats good all over the mountain as well, if you know of any other skis like this, lemme know. Thanks.

I would probably go with anthems since the punx aren't exactly "soft" skis. they're medium flex and for me at least (about 125 lbs) it takes a decent amount of weight to really wash/butter them around. On the other hand, they still kill it on the mountain

I used to ski invaders, which have the same flex as anthems, and my current Punx are waaay softer than my invaders were. I'm 5'6, 120lbs and have no problem buttering 173 Punx. OP get Punx, much better quality ski.

really? I find that pretty interesting that you find them softer. I ride the 2010 punx and get more a medium flex pattern out of them, but then again they aren't that broken in. I would also suggest punx. In the long run you'll probably be happier with a more durable and versatile ski

Maybe mixing up urban punx and punx? Old invaders?

I found anthem much softer than punx. I went for punx because I couldn't handle anthems, way too soft for me. Punx is pretty soft too but not as soft as anthems.

Also got tailrocker on both my punx :)

Yes they were older Invaders. And 08/09 Punx. Definitely not Urban Punx.
