Last year i had Invaders and of course they broke so i sent them back and I now have like $300 to spend on new skis. I really enjoyed the Invaders but my question is...should i get them again or buy Fujitives. Also if you have any other suggestions for good skis (mostly park some powder) for around $400 or less please give me some feedback! THanks!

you are gonna get a 50/50 outcome of replys. i loved the 4 invaders I had last season, and i am getting the new ones. but some people out there are so "anti-line" they will say fuji's just because they dont want Line supported, and some really do like the fujis better. i would say invaders because you already know u like them.
peace

FISCHER addicts are really sick skis that are 100% symetrical and center mounted, just like the invaders. i think they would hold up better than the invaders. im not sure how much they are but they cant be more than 450 or 5oo. they ALSO have the habit which is the same ski except its alot softer in the tip and tail. im pretty sure there like 300. check it out. im gettn' a pair of the habits soon and im stoked. there gonna be my jibbing skis along side with my powpow chronic wides.

Fujatives are sick. And you can take them into the powpow easier than the invaders.

i loved my invaders and they were a great ski and now that they fixed the problem they will be even better but even if they do break or w/e line has a great customer service

ok I am getting a lot of good feedback...but I am now making this a Fujitives vs. Invaders vs. Scratch Pro FS thread. I am leaning toward Fujitives at the moment (not by much though). If anyone knows the specs on these 3 skis that could be real helpful too. I'm pretty sure the Invaders were 113-87-113 or somethin like that...thanks

dan my man,

i had fujis from brad that lasted 3 or 4 years of hard skiing with nothing but a knick in the top sheet, line has a good ski but are way too sketchy, pat didn't get his chronics til last week and he ordered them this summer, also if they break again...which is very possible...you're out for quite a while

also the invaders are sick but they are a bit too buttery i think, if you wanna go outta the park your screwed

and for the rossis, I'd say theyer the best but aren't flexi at all. very stiff, hook up some fujis or karmas maybe, or the sprayer bc

thats my best bet

i'd go for the invaders cuz i'm a big fan of the symmetrical ski. but that's just me.

and if you are worried bout not getting ur invaders, they are already shipped out so no worries there.
