Hi everyone,

Which skis do you think are better? The 2015 Faction Candide 1.0 or the 2010 Line Anthem? Looking on Craigslist for cheap park skis. Thoughts?

Similar price? I know nothing of Line from 2010 but If they're similar skis at a similar price I'd get those which are five years newer?

The 1.0s are tight, but one thing to keep in mind is that Factions have really soft bases so you might end up with a core shot or two if you ski over something you shouldn't be

LOL, are you seriously asking if a 2010 generic park ski is better than a 2015 pro model ski?
