I currently ride an older pretty beat up pair of Atomic Punx. I'm looking for something new and I'm between the Phil Larose and Antics. I'm 5'11" and currently ride 182's. The Antics come in 182 and the Larose's come in 178. I'm pretty new to the park so I feel like the 178 may be better for me to learn some new tricks. Thoughts? Also, which ski do you think is the better out of the two? Thanks for the help..

I'm trying to make the same decision. I think they are pretty similar. Both have the bamboo core. If it were me I would go with the Phil Larose

i have laroses they are fun, they have a wide shovel and tail to handle some all-mountain, they have a great medium park flex, that is great for any level park rider, they are soft in the tips and tails but stable underfoot to handle jumps, they are very durable, they have heat treated edges which last a while and keep their shape, extremely fun skis

I ride a pair of Bluehouse skis (MR) and like em alot.

But from everything I've heard you can't really beat Liberty. They seem to be an extremely well-made ski that


I'm not sure what the price difference would be either between the two, but I know most Bluehouse ski's or cheap if that's a factor in your decision.

Obviously these skis are both primarily made for park but how do they handle outside the park. The Liberty looks like the better all mountain ski out of the two being that it's a bit wider underfoot but it's also a bit shorter so not sure which one would be better.
