i am quitting racing next year, and basically because i can't stop thinking about freeskiing so-  I live in Vancouver, I'm 15- 5,9 and 150 pounds- i think i want to get next years bacons for powder(181), and then 178 invaders for park- i've heard the invaders are awful, and i've heard the opposite- any advice to help me out?

i'm an alright park skier, i can nine, and backflip, and do most easy rails - is the invader gonna work? i'm mainly looking at it because it's cheap

dude if you can 9 and backflip then you don't need a beginner park ski! im not saying invaders are for beginners im just saying you could go for something like an AR6 which is sick in the park and real good out of it too.
