are they easily snappable? not like breaking it over your leg but accidently, after alot of rail use and getting banged around on jumps

I've had 2 pairs, the older pair after 2 years of urban have cracked but intacted edges, and they are softer than when i got them but over all a super solid ski for how much abuse they have taken. Ihe newer pair is still going strong also

they arent bombproof like some skis (i.e. mad trix) but they are definitely some tough sticks, i love mine

K2's warrenty is solid as hell. If anything happens, you can send them in right away. I skied my first pair for well over a year and thrashed them and had zero problems. No delam, no decambering, no edges falling out.
I weigh 180lbs. too.

2nd pair is doing just fine now. Try them out. The price is a bargain for what you get.

Which do you think would break easier, fujative or invader?

^neither will break easily. there both strong. But invader is slightly softer so will probably break slightly easier.

I doubt they will put rivets in as they want to keep this ski as cheap as possible. Plus the new fujative is way sicker looking than the Pe
