Im gonna buy some new skiis for this season. I usually hit the park if not i chill in the slopes. Did some research and found 3 pair that am looking at: Line Invader, K2 Fujative and Rossignol Scratch Gtho. So what u thinking? Price does matter a bit

Well, the first thing people are going to tell you is we need more information, so....We need more information. By the looks of it, you obviously want something on the softer side. Do you plan on going all mountain at all, or 90% park, or what? Little more info.

well, i ride the invaders now, and i like them a lot so i would recomend them.  I've heard that the k2 are good, but i don't really like k2 so i would say go with line cause their product is really good and price is low.  But if your looking for more of an all mountian type of park ski, and you have the money, i would go with the scratch ghetto.  so basically the invaders or scratches

i dont think really any of the skis you were looking at are very versitle all mountain. you definitely want to stay away from the fujatives. i think you should look deeper into the k2 line cuz the PEs and the seths are nasty all mountain. but if you have a mindset of these pairs, i would go with the scratches.

Will be like 80% park. People say that line is almost only a park ski? wouldnt PES or seths skis be a bit too big for the park?

I call shenanigans on you mostly hitting the park if you think that PE's will be too big for park.
Look into the Line Chronic or the PE.

If your doing 80% park, you can go ahead and scratch getting seths. The seths will be useless to you if your going 80% park. PEs wouldnt be to big, its just they are fairly stiff. I would categorize the PEs as an all mountain ski that can perform in the park, but if your doing 80% park, invaders, dumonts, foils, fujis, trouble makers...any of those should do the job, and do it quite well.
