hello all.

i was thinking of gettin a true symetrical park skis but i cant decide between invaders and anthem

i m 5 5 and weight aroud 105 .
i ski 95 % park and when i dont ride park it s because it is snowy condition and i go BC

in the park i dont jib so much what i mainly do is hit jumps. from 30 to 60 feet long.

what i would want is a light ski, which can hold on for big landing without washing out.

as i am small and light maybe the invader would do the jobs or maybe they are too soft for jumping ?

tell me what you think !!

there almost the same ski, but the anthems are a little wider, like a 93 waist.

i have the invaders, and i do mostly urban. when im jumping they work well too, i like my skis a little on the soft side, but its all a matter of personal preferance. they work well in the pipe too

way off, anthems are stiffer due to their construction and they are a bit wider. The anthem also does not ahve the butter zone like the invader. The anthem is the sam econept as the invader but just made to land some bigger jumps

Learn your skis, the anthems and invaders BOTH have butter zones and all other features, they are an identical ski except for the waist of 83 and 93.

and stiffness. I have Anthems, the 93 waist is PERFECT for jumps and I'm mainly a jumper. Makes the impact that less hard.
