Had a pair - LOVED them.

Some of the lightest, poppiest skis I have ever ridden. I highly recommend them if you like a mid-stiff lightweight poppy ski.

really poppy, but i've seen some with very bad durability, and others that are holding up great. You get what you pay for, keep that in mind

go with the antics. cheaper and their warranty is super tight. i had some antics last year that fell apart after a season of usage. bluehouse hooked me up a new pair of 11/12 antics after i sent them pictures of the damage. i have used my new pair about 10 times and they are holding up fine

aight well the price isnt an issue i think their around the same. ltes on getboards are around 340, but you think the antics are a good ski obviously. +k for all of you btw.

my roommate snapped 4 pairs of ltes last year but i have no personal experience with them. antics are the only ski i have used so i cannot compare them to anything but i really like them. they are light and poppy

I love my antics. Very poppy, pretty light. Great on rails.

i have this years antics. they are a lot more durable then previous years because they have a taper on the sidewall to reduce chipping and they have all new materials and a different manufacturer.

i HIGHLY recommend getting some, you wont regret it!
