Who wins the low cost showdown. the fuji is tried and true, and the invader is, invading?

Fujative. I have seen a few too many destructed invaders to be sure that they would last the season. However, I havent skied either, and that is a big factor. Plus, I love the Fujatives graphic.

i talked to a guy from a shop he said that k2's edges break about as easily as line's reactors, so if ur not doing rail u can get away with the fuji's but if you're hitting rails go with the invaders bro, and before you guys talk think about how many pairs of invader's they've sold and you've heard of what 3 or 4 on here that have gotten fucked up, most of which were not the finalized product which line is selling now, besides if they break warrantee that shit, line is sick about their warantee

Heres my advice: take people's advice on this site with a major grain of salt.

"(ski name)s suck, my friend had them and the edges cracked and the ski totally delammed!"

You'll here that a lot. According to the population of NS, every ski sucks and is just breaking left and right.

actually about 20, and only 1 was a not finalized product, which even tho he had it last year it shouldve been finalized, because i know a athelete that was on them most of last year and never broke, so i'm almost thinking the moving of factories may have resulted in a bunch of defects?
