The public enemy's are a lot stiffer than the Invaders, so if you like stiff skis go with the pe's if you like soft go with the invaders.

the invaders sre pretty much 100% park so get the PEs and i think the PEs are going to be fatter so youll enjoy the powder more

If u ski mostly park, get the Invader 178, I dont know how they are but I heard good things about them, the Invader is going to be the sickest park ski for next season

from what i have heard from ppl who have demo'ed the invaders, they are sick skis for the park with really nice "butter zones" but those zones really effect your groomed runs and your skiing outside the park. the invader sounds like a pure park ski but if you want an all around sick ski, the PEs would be a better choise. thePE was fattened in the waist, so it can really attack anything, from the light pow to the groomers. but the PE was softened up so it will be a sick park ski also. both graphics i think are awesome and though ppl say that graphics don't matter, we all know that they are an influential part of the decision making process. both are pretty cheap too, so its not really a matter of price either. i personally think you should go with a PE, esp if it is gonna be your only ski. but that is only this humble man's opinion.

ya i know if i got the invaders I'd have tons of fun butterin all over the place but i didn't want to have to sacrifice the rest of my skiing just for that. And I've also heard a lot that Invaders are 100% park. I'm starting to lean toward the PE's now. plus they have sick graphics

I had soft skis (scratch FS) this year and they were fun, but had their draw backs. You had to land a jump perfectly to keep from falling but if you didn't land perfect it was a fight to stay up. In your case I would get the 179 p.e.'s but personaly I don't like them because they are big, bulky, and way too heavy.

yea last years 810ti and 912ti, the black and red ones would look sweet, plus they are decent bindings, dont let anybody tell you different!

if your doing 70% park and the rest is pow get 2 skis. invaders kill PEs in park. PEs and invaders both suck in pow. get a pow ski. even a shitty old fat ass ski. youll be much happier

dont get looks on PEs or4frnts cause neither skis have a mounting plate and the narow drilling pattern in the rear of a look binding will rip right out so fast

do it for yourself and no one else

pe's are plenty soft.
actually too soft in some cases for me.

but the invader look slike a park tool, not an actual ski.

its probably sick in the park, but i cant imagine any real skiing being don on a ski with that much flex.

chronic wide 177 bitch, light but not noodles like the invaders. The invaders are sick, but unless you way 90 lbs they are too soft for anything outside the park. the PEs are good but are on the heavy side. the chron wide is kinda between the two, leaning more toward the PEs.

i have some chronics and they are so sick. they kill it in the park and carve through anything i take them down. they are stiff so they hold on the whole mountain so well but are nice and poppy on jumps. go with them cause they are fairly fat but i ride in the east so not much pow hear. but what i have ridden they are amazing
