well i ski killington and early season they only really have rails set up and plenty of ice.  im trying to find a ski that i can beat up on the shitty ICY conditions, rails, and the occasional urban.  6' 185lbs and ski anything i want something light and not very expensive that i can abuse for at least half a season. any thoughts people?

No. At 6' 185 he would flex the FUCK out of those!

Not so much inexpensive, but JO Pro would handle ice ok.

arent the invaders meant to flex?  im 6.2/195 and have tons of fun on the east coast with them.  in fact, i got anthems too, but have had more fun on the invaders this year. he says he wants a cheap ski that is light and good for park, and ice.  they might now be the strongest on ice, but i think he'll be fine/ it is a good option.

I like my ar6's a lot, and think they would be good for him, but I've noticed that mine have become so much more flexy since the beginning of the season. They are the 06 ones, and this is my first year riding them.  I'm only 5'10'' and 150lbs, does this happen to anyone else?
