Hey guys,Im getting a new pair of skis pretty soon here but idk what to get. I basically like to ski everything that my east coast mountain has to offer. Basically for right now its either the anthems or chronics. I know the chronics are stiff, but are they still able to butter decently well? Im about 5'11 195lbs and i need some help.

Ok, I'm the perfect guy to answer your question, because I ride anthems, and my bro rides chronics... pretty crazy huh. I really like my anthems, and my bro really likes his chronics. Both pairs are mounted at dead center, but he can still butter a little on his skis. If you've seen how Garrett Russell does Nose Blocks (http://www.vimeo.com/2566605) he can still do that on his chronics... so they aren't THAT stiff. I really think you'd really like either of them, but I'm not sure you need the added width of the anthem. We have tons of pow in Utah, so I didn't wanna go any skinnier than my 93 waist. In your case, you could easily like either one. Make sure you get the right size though. Them seem to run big in my opinion... I was gonna get 178 anthems, but they were HUGE, the 171's come up past my forehead, and I'm 5'9". You'd probably be good on a center mounted 178.
