Fucking NS mobile. I know it's a bad idea to ask NS for financial advice but I really don't know. I'm looking for a 80% park 10% pow and 10% all groomers ski. Help!

Depends on the conditions. If you are skiing icy runs in the east then you probably don't need/want to have rocker. If you ski lots of slush or softer conditions then yes they are a good choice. Just make sure you get them a little longer than you normally would b/c the rocker makes them ski short. Also if you like to really charge the groomers then you might want to avoid rocker altogether. Also Alphas have a race base so you will have to wax them a little more than usual.

just beware they are pretty soft and mad heavy!! i recommend the bluehouse MR! it has similar imensions to the anthem, yet a slightly stiffer flex and its lighter. it also has a similar price tag!

check them out, there some sick sticks!

Bluehouse skis aren't very good, and Anthems really are not that heavy, its a cap ski.
