Ability-still learning in the park but getting better and im a good skier
What i ski-70% park and like 30% groomers
Im on 169 fujatives 05/06's

i like the width of them so something with an 80-85 waist, something light, poppy, and pretty soft.

if you ski mainly groomers invaders are a little weird cuz of the whole symmetrical thing. i liked volkl dogens on groomers because they have nice sidecut and they do well in the park also

volkls are light and poppy but extremley stiff, invader are light and buttery, like a 171 invader, or a 169 wall depending on if you love buttering or not.

^ yeah, dont post if you dont know what youre talking about.

back to post, invaders might work for you, but ive heard so many good things about the anthems, plus theyre a little wider.
