Invaders are more park.. That's kind of a tough spec, especially since you have lizzies you want another wide? How wide are you looking? T-Hall maybe?

I was thinking the same thing... Wide, not stiff, carve well. You've already got that.

I wanted to say pretty much the same. If anything maybe get some stiffer skis, or park.

^ medium i think, pretty similar to the chronics.

the moment reno size 160 would be good, im not surem if that's the right size though, you might take like a 165 but i don't know. sweet ski though.

Maybe a Fuj, or silencer, maybe next year's Armada ElRay that would work, or you could go with last years demo, check 'em out at our website
