Ok, so I'm looking for a new pair of skis. I'm pretty much a park noob, so I definitely want something that will be able to handle the whole mountain, since that's what I'm used to doing. For the record, I'm 5'9", and 140 lb.

Since my local shop is having a big sale this weekend, I thought it would be a good time to buy.

Option 1: Invaders. This is what the sales guy suggested to me. I've been doing some research, but I never really came across this ski. Leaving the shop he almost had me sold on it, but I told him I'd be back tomorrow. Looks like this ski is not so good, eh? From what I understand it has delam problems and is an all park ski, which is not what I'm looking for.

Option 2: Scratch sprayer. This would be pretty ideal, I think, but I have no idea how it would compare to...there was also a Scratch Pro (used demo ski), which I didn't really look at as much as I should have.

Option 3: Chronics. I didn't really look at these much when I was at the shop, but I wish I did now. I don't know what size they are or the price, but I do remember they're under $325 with bindings. Thing is, they were demo skis. Any idea how hard demos get used?

So any thoughts/opinions would be good. What size should I be looking for? I basically want a good all mtn twin that'll help me get better in park.

 
chronics are exactly what your looking for. All mountain/park twin, I would have gotten them last year but I found a better deal on some arv's
 
chronics would be the best for you, though i couldn't tell you about the demo without seeing it. sprayer bcs would also work well as you are light. invaders are fun and poppy, the delam problem has been fixed, but they are pretty much park specific being symetrical and all.
 
Hmm, pretty much what I thought. I'll call them tomorrow and see what size the chronics are and their price...if that falls through, I'm probably looking at the Sprayer FS, not BC, since I live in PA.

They also had a few Prophet 80's which I might check out, but they're stiffer and geared more towards all mountain, right?
