Hey NS, I'm looking to buy a pair of skis and I've found a few different people to buy from. But, I don't know too much about skis so any help would be appreciated. I'm looking to spend time in the park and I ski in Vermont and in Colorado. Anything on how the skis perform in the park, on rails, on groomers, and in pow would be really helpful. Also, any other advice or knowledge would be great.

The skis im trying to decide between are:

4FRNT TNKs (07ish i think)

Nordica Ace of Spades (09-10)

Line Octolands (08-09)

Line Anthems 07-08 (wolves)



+K for anyone that can help me out.

Thanks

Ace of spades is a significantly better ski than all of them.

TNKs aren't very durable, my 08s topsheet started chipping really early on. The bases and sidewall held up better, but still not great.

im probibally an idiot but...

anthems and octolands are the sames skis, no?

if so, they are heavier than moment rockers, but more flexible.  and my anthems had a top sheet delam problem. But they have hecka pop and are very fun

im pretty positive the octolands are just the anthems with a different graphic but theyre a year newer so I wasnt sure if anything was different between the two.

The Line Anthems. I have no knowledge on the Ace of Spades, but my buddy loved his anthems.
