PE's because K2 is the best ski company on the planet and two of my friends have likes (skogen sprangs, and chronics) and they arent to particularly fond of them. i dont konw about the invaders though

GO with the invaders, they are an amazing ski thats lots of fun to ski. the PE's are just your middle of the line twins that everybody else has on the mountain even that 50yr old guy who got them from the rental shop and has them mounted -10 back.

If you plan on skiing all mountain you should definitely get the PE, and youll still be able to rip pretty good in the park.

Get the PE's if you're skiing outside of the park at all, get the invaders if you never leave the park and really like warranties.

no, PE's are much stiffer. if your in the park most of the time get invaders, especially if u like buttering.

most people say PE, but i checked them out and they are pretty stiff, i still have not physicalyl touched the invaders. but from what i heard and saw(from lineskis.com) they look to be pretty good, with flex and performance, only thing wrong is delam, but i heard line warranties skis well.

wait what? you want a ski that isnt like a noodle, but is really flex? i dont understand

either way, they will both fall apart

wtf do you know, invaders are in no way horrible outside the park, they are not a park specefic ski. The invaders are amazing skis outside and inside the park.

^ you hit a rock on any ski and there done, get the public enemy if your doing more outside the park, the invader is a good ski for the park, but the pe is fatter at the footbase, so if you want to do harder runs it can handle it

seeing as he is so light the invader would probably work all mountain decently

o ya and since u r so light it would be harder than anything to flex the pe's, im like 160-150 and i could barely lift up the tails going forward
