How are the line invaders? This is my first pair of skis and I ski park on rentals right now, and have broken 6 pairs so I was told I need to get my own skis for next season. I have come across these and I think these will be a good choice. Also the bindings I am looking at are the Look PX12 Ti Jibs.

Does anyone have any pics of these skis in real life, not just the stock photos.

This years invaders are a very dope ski.....really solid, soooo buttery, and they have so much pop. Not to mention that they are dirt cheap...i love mine. As for the PX12 Tis....those are pretty heavy compared to most of the other PX 12s..i would take a look at the PX 12 Jib binding....its lighter, but still really solid. Ive skied on both of these bindings and the Jib feels alot better in the park.

all the sizes can have a pink base, their harder to find and if you order them you you have no choice in what you getting. They dont even know what their sending you hopefully you get lucky and get pink. I like both though.

i have the 08's and they are the most fun ive had on skis next to watch lifes. my first day on them was awesome, cause i had the watch lifes the day before, and even watch lifes are kinda soft, but i had been doing nose/tail butters alot and when i first tried them on invaders, i was getting the tails up like 3 feet every time and it was super effortless. it sucks though cause ive gotten used to them and butters dont seem as insane anymore.
but yeah you can ollie like 2 feet off flat most of the time, and when you ollie/nollie off little bumps/lips you pop like crazy.

I´m buying 08 Line Invaders, but I´m not sure if I should buy 178 or 171 Invaders.
I´m 5'10''ish long ang weigh about 170lbs.. I ski mostly in the park and I love to jib and butter but I also ski some powder when I can find some and some trees..

definately get he 178. i got the 171 last year and i was 5'8" and now its a little short. the 178 is only like an inch longer than the 171, just hold one of each next to each other and u can see theres not a big difference. and they suck in the powder, unless ur flying down the hill. u gotta be going fast for them to stay ontop. i went to stowe in february and all i skied was the woods because they were so sick, and my invaders went pretty good. i just didnt stop cuz i would have gotten stuck

Thanks for the info. It ain´t gonna be a problem if the Invaders aren´t great in the powder, cause It´s rare to find any where I live...

Ive got a pair of invaders and anthems.  i think the anthems handle just as easy if not better than invaders.  i actually just ride my invaders on urban rails now because i'd rather just ski the anthem whenever im at a resort.  you might wanna consider the anthem.  super sick  im 5'11 and ride 178s
