Park Skis on a budget

Hey guys, i'm looking for some help buying a second pair of skis. I live in IDAHO and currently own some 07-08 icelantic pilgrims, which i really like, but whenever i was skiing park this year i always felt i should have gone for something more along the lines of some invaders since that would have been my other choice.
Anyway, I'm currently looking at some henrik harlaut pros but was looking for some other suggestions. I don't really have a definitive budget but something on the lower end of the price spectrum would be great since i don't have a solid income.
For reference, i am 16 this September, 5' 8", weigh 125 pounds, and i am looking to improve my park skiing drastically. I also tend to ski relatively fast (my friend and i used the gps on his phone and thought i was going 60+ mph).
Thanks for any help :)
 
These are beasts all over the mountain, they can handle speed and still are fun in the park, I'd go with those for a budget all mountain park ski. Invaders are fun, but they would be super sketchy at 60mph because they're so soft, whereas this years Silencer is stiffer than the Invaders, but has rocker so they're still easy to butter and press, also, the tend to break in and get a bit softer with time.
 
If you can find a pair of invaders, I would say go with that. I can rip as hard on my invaders as I can on my chronics, the soft flex doesn't have any effect on going fast for me at least. I can even charge the chop on my vaders, unlike my lizzies haha.
 
Ill definitely check these out. The speed test was really a one time deal. It was a school trip, my principal loves skiing (although hes kinda an ass about it). Anyway i was trying to break that record and he watched and he was terrified. I hit that on my pilgrims, and it was super sketchy so i wont be trying again. I had an opportunity to buy invaders but chose the pilgrims instead, but i will look for them.
 
i have line pollard pros and there sick in the park. not really soft but they seem to butter real nice. a fat ski so there nice in powder to which i dont get a lot of in maine but when i went out to utah they were great. they also handle fast speeds really well to but not great carving ski because they have such a fat base
 
Its not like i go 60+ every day, it was just at brundage which isnt my home mountain, so as far as im concerned the invaders would work pretty well. Pretty much im just looking for a park ski and use my pilgrims in pow cause thats what im comfortable with.
