if you like just charging through stuff you might not like them but if you like doing butters and little jibs off everything its a fun ski

They are super soft and are not really good at high speeds. However.. if you wanted to go at really high speeds and carve on groomers.. then get race skis. if you want something thats super fun, poppy and just great for jibbing... the Invaders are for you.

i love mine, you just have to adjust your skiing to how they handle. if you ski any pow, you have to put an assload of work into it. Riding in the park is perrrffeect tho.

correct me if im wrong cuz i havent riden these but...

technically if these are symetrical and the sidecut( i know thats the wrong word but somehow the right one just escaped me) is at core center where the recomended mounting point is so i would think that these would ski better than any other ski mounted at the same point because the other skis are mounted farther forward than the sidecut.. i hope this made sense im pissed that i forgot the word im thinking of, odds are im gonna think of it in a few minutes

mine are pretty good out of the park but for carving they make longer turns and do not make sharp turns cuz of the smalled sidecut it drifts more but they are still a solid ski out of the park

there pretty good for park but i've tried them in pow and there pretty good there (if you dont suck at skiing powder) ther'ye a little thin for pow but hop turns are great for them.....on light snow they are good cause they float...

i have a pair of chronics and 08 invaders, i ride the invaders all mountain, just can't straight shot like on the chronics, get the wobbles from the noodles, but they're fun. you can do it for sure if your wanting a park ski and spend a lot of time there.

since this is an old thread, i'll re-up my opinion again.

i like them all mountain now. i skied in over 3ft of fresh a couple days ago(no lie) and they were doing just as good as my friends 08 seths. i love em

I ski mine all mountain. They chatter really bad when you go fast thats probably my least favorite part. They are awsome switch and I went through like 4" of pow (which is tons on teh east coast) and had a fun time.

i rode them at alpental late spring, even though they were unstable at higher speeds they were equally fun messing around on little natural hits.

I dunno.

I do know that my invaders are dope in the park, and super fun on groomers and trails, just jibbing around like crazy. I like them better than my PE's out of the park in every condition except fresh snow. And on steep tree runs I don't really like them because you have to lean back a lot, which can = shin bang.

Unless you're gonna be ripping down faces or steeper stuff, they should be good for you.
