Are you going with them just because of price? I'd just get an upper-ed 06/07 ski instead. Eitherway, are you going to mount dead center? If so I'd say Invaders, it really just depends which you like more IMO.

IMO = In My Opinion

If you are gonna centermount I'd go with the invaders since they are symmetrical and designed to be centermounted, fuji's are not, both are good skis though, not the best out there but for 90% park they will be great

I hated Fujatives when I rode them, the Invader is a great ski though, and if you're going to center mount I'd get that, also look at the Anthem though.

damn you, i was going to say that, but fourhundred is cool, so i wouldn't be a dick

the invaders would be fun everywhere, and the silencers would be in the same price range

seriously check out evogear.com
i got my scratch FS's for $170

What a surprise! You reccomend the same ski you have! Listen, he lives in Ontario, all park, he needs a park ski. Ar6's are great, but are more geared towards all mountain.

I think the invaders would be your best bet. You could go fujis, but like Quearnyislad said, the symetric shape will help out in the park alot.

So, my message? People seriously need to stop being so bias about skis. I notice, when people are recommeding skis, I'll chack thier profile, and guess what? Somehow, they always manage to reccomend the ski they ride. In my opinion, thats pretty childish. He's a small guy, and probably doesnt want a stiffer ski like the ar6, PE, chronic, or FS WRS. The invader is soft, buttery, light, and AFFORDABLE.

if you get the fujis get the 06-07 iddentical ski just different graphics and its a little softer. ive never skied line invaders but i hear they to are wicked soft. about the same as fujis.either or im sure you'll be happy with both. my friend had mounting trouble iwth his fujis the bindings kept rippin out, could have been a shitting mountin job

aight if youre skiing 90% park id center mount them either way so dont base it on that. i personally liked riding fujatives better than invaders although i was only on them for a demo day (i ski 100% park on the east coast unless theres enough powder to go hit a cliff or something but thats not often haha). If i were you id check out sierrasnowboard, they have reallll sick deals right now and just pick a regularly more expensive ski that has similar flex and size characteristics as the fujas and invaders and dont worry about it being "too good of a ski for you" i really dont think theres such thing for most instances
