Tanner's worth the money?

ok, skis are a big investment, and this is the year i spend, but i'm torn. It's now between three different park skis: the tanner pro's, the invaders, or the fujatives.
i want a park ski that's light, soft and has lots of flex, but one that isn't a piece of crap anywhere but the park. The invaders are cool and cheap, but the fujative seems like alot more ski at the same price point. On the other hand, the tanners look like the softest, most park specific ski you can get, but are they really worth the extra 300 bucks?
I had the Public enemies last year, and they were beasts, but kind of heavy and it seemed like other skis would have performed better in the park. That's my reservation for not getting the fugatives. So point of the story, anyone ridden the tanner pros and are they 300 dollars better that the others?

I think that the invaders look like the coolest park specific ski completely centermounted and the butter thing looks cool so i'd go with those pluse u'll have money left over but if that rumor about the recall is true then go with the fujis. I wouldn't drop 550 on park specific skis. If they're gonna be ur only ski then its probably worth it but for park specific i'd go with a cheaper ski

no dont get tanners, fujatives are less, basically the same style, why spend money on skis when you are just goin to destroy them anyway. fujatives for sure, or invadors if there similar in price...get the least expensive ski. park skis should not be expensive...ever.

fujatives look like they can do pretty much everything, good price too. the invaders claim the ride like a snowboard, take off and landing on edges, but if you see someone flex the tanner hall's, you'd swear you were looking at a snowboard...anyone actually ridden them though?

out of those i might get the tanners, im guessing the invaders are the softest, and they would probably be the most fun cause of the butter thing, im just not too sure how they do on big jumps and stuff.
but for what your looking for id get the stl's, there probably just as soft as the t-halls, they are cheaper, there super light weight, and ive never heard a bad thing about them. if i were you id get stl's.

I'd go with fujatives. Really inexpensive and awsome park ski. Light, flexy, good width, and tough. They ski pretty well out of the park too.

if you want a great park ski go with either the invader or the fujative. the tanner is a good jib ski, but with the rounded edges its gunna screw you all mountain and in the pipe. the fuj is a little better all mountain becuase its a directional ski. but just for park im leaning tward the invader.

All three skis have butter spots. fujatives were done first, then everyone started doing it. the only thing that they stiffened was teh tails for the new fujatives so they don't wash out in pipe transitions.
If I were to buy a park ski, I would buy fujatives or armada ARVs. They are soft, fat, and beastly. They llok like they would be such a badass park ski. seriously, go to a shop, and flex them. I was like... Ohhh... like butta'.

the fujatives seem really good for butters, but then again I've never flexed the tanners. but k2 is sweet.

If you know how to ski...take any ski outside the park you want to, just some skis are meant for different aspects, it doesn't mean you have to exclusively ride park.

This year's Tanner Pro is by far the best park ski EVER made.
All times are Eastern (-5)
