Haha, this thread got kind of crazy. Anyway, I think I'm going to get the T-Halls, I want something that's softer with flex points. The Scratches sound nice, but I want something softer. The Scratches aren't too much cheaper anyway, $50 less at my local shop. And even if I'm paying for Tanner's...

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. The invaders sound like a lot of fun, but I'm kind of rough of my skis, my PEs have a lot of gashes on the top sheet (I've been messy learning spins and grabs, the ptex top sheet on the 06s doesn't help either), so I think I would kill off a pair of...

Alright, thanks for your help!

Okay, so it's their construction is different and that affects how they ski and the durability, I think. Are there any park skis like an Invader that are more learning-friendly than T-halls? I've been skiing for a long time, but I've just started doing park this year and I plan on progressing...

Okay, yea, I don't mind spending 200 more if I'm going to get my money's worth. You said they're not comparable though? They seem similar being soft with flex points. T-halls aren't symmetrical, or is there a bigger difference I'm missing? Or do you mean their construction is incomparably...

There's some skiers where I ski who make it look good, it's just preference.

Hey, I was planning on getting Invaders but I got some extra money from Christmas and am wondering if it would be better to get T-Halls since they sound like more durable Invaders? Basically is it worth the $200ish (ouch) price difference?

All my friends board, it's just the beginners. I know how you feel though, even though I'm new to park I can still ski, but there's people who can't even carve, riders and skiers, all over my hill.

alright thanks, this is my first year freeskiing so I have a lot of learning to do hah

bleah, I'm guessing there's no softer skis that can stand up to bigger stuff, or would foils be in that category?

one question though, will the invaders hold up on bigger jumps? or will they flex and wash out? (by bigger I mean 40-60 feet)

alright, thanks guys

anyone?

I'm having trouble deciding between the Invaders and Fujas. I keep hearing that the Invaders are fun but have had durability issues and that the Fujas are great too but lose their camber quickly. Are these just rumors or are all the skis like that? I want park-focused ski that I can take out...

At first I was planning on going with the Chronic Blends, but now I'm not sure if I should go with something more park specific. Basically, I'm riding park the majority of the time but do a bit of trees and powder when my resort gets it. I'm 155 lbs and 5'11." I have some 05/06 PEs but they...

Alright, awesome, so I'll probably demo the Blends and either the MSPs or Foils, although the Foils sound a bit thin at an 85mm waste for pow. Anyway, thanks guys, you made this a lot easier to decide.

Won't the foam core "die" faster than a wood core? I've been hearing that a lot.

I would like to wait for next year's anthems, but I really want some skis that can handle powder and trees and I don't have any that can right now.

Yea, I'm really disappointed about the anthems, anyway, thanks guys, from your suggestions I think I'll try to demo three if I can, the MSPs, ARVs and Blends. The foil does look good, but the foam core seems kinda iffy to me. Thanks again.

Okay, I'm heading to Mammoth in a few days and I have time to demo two skis and decide what to buy. I'm 150 lbs, 5'11", west coast, mostly park but I head to powder whenever there is some. I'm want something a bit soft for park, but stiff enough to do trees, powder and carving on groomers...
