OK..i am 5-6, 120lb and i have been looking at the invaders for a while now. But after hearing people rip on them i am having second thoughts.. are there any other park skis besides the fujatives that are soft and reliable?

For that $300 price range by a ski from last year. You'll get the most bang for your buck that way. Think about it this way, wait 12 months and you can buy some of the most sick skis for half price and know exactly what your getting since tons of other people have ridden them for an entire season.

And sorry to rip on the invaders more, but I of all the invaders I've seen on the hills, about half of them show significant delamming.
