Wait till next year, and get the step-ups. Fatter than the Afterbangs, but same flexy construction.

I hope that's a joke...

If you want a soft fat ski, get Anthems, if you want a soft "skinny" ski get the Afterbangs, if you want a noodle (really soft, really skinny ski) try and find some Invaders.

You are gonna want next years Bacons for sure. Rockered, 115 underfoot, soft but not too soft. I ski them everyday in the park and on pow days. SOOOOO FUN!

most winning comment


ps anthems, not afterbangs they break and the base is not that good for absorbing wax, and that means it goes slow

A flexy park ski that excels in pow too. Hmm.

Elizabeth. Definitely. Exactly what you're looking for. I have Elizabeths and love them.

Or next season's Sir Francis Bacon. A tad stiffer (but not a stiff ski!) with some rocker. I got to try these and I think I might have to buy them...

There's an important difference between these skis though. Elizabeth is a park ski that can handle powder skiing, whereas Sir Francis Bacon is a powder ski that can handle park skiing.

anthems have the same base as the afterbangs, as do the invaders. they are all bad for wax holding because they have extruded bases

I checked out the blends and they have really nice flex, a waist wide enough to go over powda and thin enough to still be useful in the park.

not true, the step ups are wider as well, they are taking the place of the anthem

That's odd, because in the Line catalog they have the same dimensions as the Afterbangs. Also I have seen them and they didn't look any wider than the Afterbangs.

e does not have a "park" and "pow" ski. for park i found that afterbangs and step ups are total key. for pow depending on where you are you'd rob wanna go wiht prophets.

not a line ski but the surface watch life or atomic patent. patents are a super flexy ski and were great all mountain in my opinion. watchlifes are not super flexi but kill it every where. maybe throw some rossi s5's on your list
