Questions about some soft skis...

Hey,

I am thinking about getting some fujis or invaders. I'm just starting out in the park and I'd like something small, light, snappy, and really soft and buttery. I also have a budget of about $200, so I would be getting last years model. Which of those skis would you recommend? Any others?

Right now I have 171 prophet 80s which I love, but like I said, I want something softer.

I am 5'11 and 125lbs (thin as hell), and I'm a moderately strong skier.

Recomendations?

Well with a $200 budget you can either go those 2, or add like $50 to your budget and maybe someone will be selling a used ski for around that price.

Eitherway, I'd say if your going all park go invaders, if you don't a some more all-mountain ability go fujis. Personally I'd just go invaders, I've heard nothing but good about Line's warranty, and if your gonna mount center there's less a chance of a shop messing it up which seems to be happening daily now.
