Ive heard the anthem is a good board for all mountain, which is what I do. Ive heard the top scratches and it has some added weight but no biggy. If you have one could you give me some pros and cons about it and should I put my money on it or just find somethin else to look for.

I've been riding an 07 Anthem for a couple of years, and even though it's a little bigger than I like, the board is definately a good board.  It is very responsive and can be ridden anywhere on the mountain.  The only thing I don't like about the board itself is the top sheet graphics, but that is obviously a personal preference.  I say go for it!

i've got the 09 Anthem 159

very glad i bought that board, much better than my previous one ( burton cruzer = rubbish)


i don't think it is heavy at all...
pretty fast on the slopes + very stable
stable landing after jumps
only took a few runs in powder, performed good, no complaintes

if you think on buying one, go ahead and you won't regret it!
