k im 5"6.5 inches and i weigh 122 im lookin for more of a softer ski cause my assassin mtxs are a lil stiff and i wanna get something soft...so i ride the east where its theres alot of ice so i need something that can handle it in the park and out of the park....but so far im lookin towards 171 invaders,167 stls,169 fujis...what do u think will handle my conditions and what not?

out of those choices, I'd go with the invaders. But I haven't rode them. I've heard good things but I won't talk them up too much.

I ski pennsylvania mostly, and i ride scratch FS's. They are softer, and i ski all over and they hold up on the icey stuff pretty well. The FS's might not be a bad choice either.

Just sign up for a credit card and if you don't wanna deal with it, destroy it when you get it. You won't have to spend a penny.

all those skis are pretty similar and have been discussed in these forums 1,000 times. You'll be fine with any of them

I would go for which pair is the cheapest if I were you. If they are the same price, I would go for which ever pair is the longest and fattest....

yeah get Troublemakers. They are seriously the BEST all around ski I've ever had, despite the fact that they break on rails. just don't get the 165 though cause those are very soft. I like the 175s.

because I like poop.

wel if you're just learning rails then I doubt you'll break them. if you start doing big rails or 270 ons or switch ups and such then those things will be sitting on your curb in a month.....maybe less.
