i know, this is another what skis should i get thread.

Heres the deal, i'm 5 foot 2 inches and weigh 110.i'm lookin for something around 165-168. I do only park, and am hardly anywhere else. I need a durable ski, i hit a shit load of rails and really beat my skis. I generally hit jumps around 35-45 feet. I don't want something too heavy. I like to fuck with the ski, riding on rocks and jumpin around and what. I'm on the east so i need a ski that can hold basically any terrain/conditions. I am on line invaders right now and i really like them, s maybe something similar to that.

Anything you can help me with is appreciated and you will be awarded +K.

Thanks

I don't know about afterbangs if you are set on a light ski. For starters, they are on the heavier side already, and my friends afterbangs seem to take on water in spring conditions and get even heavier. I could be wrong though. But yeah you might like anthems if you like your invaders, pretty much the same ski just a little wider and a little stiffer.

Anthem... or AR6 if you don't mind paying the extra dollars. The AR6 is probably slightly more durable than the anthem but having said that, anthems are probably my favourite park skis.

If you're happy with how fast your invaders bases were then the anthems will be fine. AR6s will be slightly quicker.

AR6 or 7s(depending on your budget) would be a very very solid choice for you. one of the most durable and reliable skis on the market and always has been
