too many good ones. volkl wall is one of my favorites but i've ridden punx and they're very good and line step ups are great as well. afterbangs are great too if you want a softer ski less for jumps

Check out the patent from Atomic. They are very similar to the anthems, they are both symmetrical and soft.

not patents, he means PUNX. there super soft and really light, like the lightest ski. So worth getting them... Patents kinda suck

No, I really did mean the patents..
The patents are soft and have a similar width to the anthems, while the punx are much more narrow.

Anthems (if you can still find). Also lots of people have good things to say about the walls.

I did some easy searching, and found Anthems available online (I hope).
Site is legit, I've bought stuff from them before.

Enjoy!
I seriously love my Anthems.

It does suck. I have 178 Octoland/Spirals (one of each).
Pick up the pair with the retro graphic on them. It's just a graphic, and you're getting one of the funnest, most playful skis out there. At an amazing price too!

Perhaps one thing about this thread should be cleared up,
Do you want a symmetrical park ski? Or symmetrical pow ski?

Surface New Lifes are 122 in the waist, amazing rocker, amazing float, and more on the stiffer side of pow skis.
If it's what you're looking for, go for it. I'm stoked on mine.

Why wouldn't you be able to handle them? I'm only 170, and I'm getting the 194s.

Get a 184 if you're worried

I think that people who loved Anthems would like the K2 Domains. They seem really similar to me: about 90 mm wide, symmetrical, soft flex.

Disclaimer: I have skied Anthems, but not Domains.
