I am about 5'11" 140 pounds and ski 90% park and 10% everything else. I like hitting boxes rails and jumps. How do these two skis compare to each other. I have heard that the Surface skis arnt that durable and the Anthems delaminate.
So if you could help me out that would be great.

well, the Anthems are wider and heavier, but symmetrical, softer, and more durable. The Nine Lives are SUPER light, SUPER poppy, and have early rise, however, there are a few horror stories out there about them.

edges coming out within days of skiing, sidewall blowouts, stuff like that.

So I should probably just go with the anthems.

well, it's a tough call...I haven't skied my Nine Lives yet, but my friend has (he needed a pair of skis to borrow so he used those) and he said they were SUPER fun, poppy and energetic, and I haven't seen any problems with them yet, but it would suck to get them and then have them be destroyed in a week. The Anthems will last longer and be super buttery and fun (the Nine Lifes are much stiffer, but the early rise allows for easy buttering). Like I said, tough call. Personally, I'd go with the Anthems, just cause I would hate to have a ski be destroyed so quickly.
