So last year i had invaders and of course they fell apart, i have a gift certificate $520(can) to my ski shop for new skis this year. I was decided on the fischer addicts and was prety syked on them come to find out my shop doesn't deal with fischer. I am having such a hard time deciding what skis to get. I liked the flex of the invaders in the park but hated them outside on trails, so somthing stiffer than lsat years invaders. Also i am on the east coast ski %80 park %20 groomers, and usually go somwhere with podwer for march break. I am 6 foot 175pounds, and i would really aprreciate if i could get some advice on what skis to get. i know there are a ton of these threads and i've looked but it seemed the decision for my specifications were the addicts. i had the t-halls and karma's in mind thanks again

The BC scratches have a good flex for park but ski really well everywere else too. I rode them all last year and loved them, plus they are a little fatter than normal park skis witch makes them a little more stable.

Some suggestions: K2 Public Enemy, Salomon Foil or Volkl Karma appear to be fine on every terrain, as far as I know.

thanks for hte offer but like i said i have a $520 gift certificate to the shop, so i might as well use that, i've pretty much narrowed it down to the karmas or the t-halls, comments on which would better suit me appreciated! thanks

Then it comes down to if you want a softer ski (T-Hall) or a stiffer ski (Karma)... I'm pretty sure the T-Halls are near the top of the softness list, but this years model isn't facory detuned so they'd at least be able to hold an edge outside of the park but they wouldn't handle as well as the Karmas, that's for sure...
