OK..i am 5-6, 120lb and i have been looking at the invaders for a while now. But after hearing people rip on them i am having second thoughts.. are there any other park skis besides the fujatives that are soft and reliable?

[niels.]

so you could do the steeps and trees and all that with the centermount and everything? they sound like a sick ski because of it but is it alright out of the park?

[EastCoastSkier08]

yeah where did you get them?

 

[Davevinc1080]

For that $300 price range by a ski from last year. You'll get the most bang for your buck that way. Think about it this way, wait 12 months and you can buy some of the most sick skis for half price and know exactly what your getting since tons of other people have ridden them for an entire season.

And sorry to rip on the invaders more, but I of all the invaders I've seen on the hills, about half of them show significant delamming.
