invader, fujative, stl.. the only thing i question in these skis is the durability. i'd be more inclined to go with the t-hall, if you got's the money to drop.

Yeah, It really does depend. If you like Powder, Dropping cliffs, Rails, Jumping, or just cruising.

Ok, so a park specific ski would be good.

If you're not really that good, and don't want to look like to much of a poser, The Salomon 1080 Thruster is a good one to start on. Durable too. (I've had a pair for 4 years)
(don't get Salomon bindings though!)

Scratch FS rides a lot like the 1080, it's a light ski so it's easy to butter and spin fast.

Dynastar Trouble Makers I hear are really fun to jump with, but are supposidly really bad for rails.


I wouldn't know about Armada or Line, someone else might want to help there.

my T-halls are sick and they arent even that noodly.they are much better that my invaders. more stable and wayyyy more durable. if u want a lasting park ski, go t halls. if ur on a tight budget get line anthems or invaders but ONLY next years lines
