Has anyone ridden both of these? I can get one or the other in a 180 for about $250. If you have experience on either pair please help me out. I have a pair of the 09 Da'Nollies in a 170 and I really like them but I have no idea how they compare.
Thanks + K for helpful answers

The Anthems are gonna be stiffer so sure. Icelantics are like noodels and have too much flex.

Actually my current Da'Nollies have a lot of pop and they are buttery but not too much
Thanks for the reply though

you have obviously never been on the da nollies.
to the op I would go with the da nollies as you said they are very snappy and have a perfect amount of flex. A good park ski, i dont have much experience with the anthems, I demoed them last year and i thought they were pretty damn fun. A little to soft for me though. I think the icelantics are the better choice of the two.

Yes I have skied both skis. I demo-d one of the Icelantics riders skis and they just flexed out too much to me.

I've heard that the Athems are a heavier ski, but I've heard nothing but good other than that. Buttery is great for me because I hear you can depend on them to not wash out on bigger jumps but then again I've never actually ridden them for myself

Thanks for the replies guys, I went and checked out the Anthems today and the flex zones are amazing. They are a little heavier but they seem like a really fun ski. The top sheet alone almost makes the choice for me haha

My anthems are a bit heavy and delam like crazy, but I still think they are a sick fatter park ski and would probably get them again if the qualtity wasn't so bad

I think the Da Nollies are a better choice. Symmetrical, light, durable (I have 60+ days on mine a only one miniscule edge crack), amazingly poppy, once they break in the butter zones make it so easy to butter, if it means anything to you the graphics on the 2010 are 1000x better than the Anthems (in my opinion), and lastly your supporting a core company located in the United States that has some pretty badass people working for them. Only downfall is that they lack with all-mountain performance

I have no experience with Anthems so I cannot say anything about them, but if these two skis where laid out in front of me I would probably go with the Da Nollie.

The pop is definitely a plus on my Da'Nollies but I am a first year skier and I'm also thinking it would be good to add ski that rides differently to my quiver. The 2010 graphics on the Da'Nollies are so sick but the Wolf graphics on the Anthems speak to my soul haha
