Everyones seen thousands of these... But anyways my scratches have had it. Im missing 51 and a 1/2cm of edges on em =p So what do I get next? At the moment, since I ski indoors It's all park. This season I'll probably go to Snowpark, and when i'm in the US i'll only be at echo. So, I need a 100% park ski. I want something really light and buttery, I'm 5'5 and 125lbs, so want something between 165-170. I've heard armadas are really heavy, any other suggestions?

invaders. so what if they break, they're cheap enough to buy a new pair every season especially if you get this years ski once it goes on sale or get 'em on ebay or somethin. if you dont trust them, thrusters maybe? although if you fucked up rossi edges that bad I'm not sure I'd recommend salomon. Armadas would be worth another look they aren't that heavy and heave bombass edges.

Yeah I would probably go with invaders, but my parents would flip if I was buying new skis every half year, because apparently one pair of skis lasted them 5 years. I don't like salomans, everyone who rides them doesn't really like them for park. T halls sound like a good choice actually, how stiff are they?

yea I think this years invaders should be fine I haven't heard of any actual delam goin on. and at pretty much half the price of the other skis your lookin at your rents should be pretty stoked. If they ever make an invader you can get two solid seasons out of, man that would be so sick. If you really want durable though just get fujas and call it a day. like 40 more than invaders and will last twice as long.

Hell no. Ar3s are still tiiiny. I made the mistake of skiing Jr. skis, it really sucked. And since everyones talking about invaders and they are pretty cheap, I might pick some up when I'm in the states in April, thats if my scratches will hold up until then. They sound good.

Rode some 176 ar5s today, and I really liked them. They felt really heavy at first, but seemed to make spinning easier because of the balanced weight (they're centred) and even though they werent very buttery on the ground, they seemed to find a perfect spot for nose pressing every time I tried on rails. I think I might look into some of them. Maybe a size smaller, as 176 is big for me.

i wouldn't worry about invaders, line is amazing with warrentees and will replace them fast if they break, including edges (though i doubt you'll break the edges, line makes good edges).

oh, and if you're worried about invaders breaking, then go with 167 chronics, they're such a durable ski (though maybe a bit stiffer than what your looking for)
