I ski about 60% all mountain (groomers, powder and chutes and trees) and then i ski about the rest of the 40% in the park. I want a ski that is super stable and fast through crud and on groomers and floats well in powder but can still be fun and poppy in the park. Which of these 3 skis or any other ski do you guys think would fill the job best? (I also don't want it to hurt the pocket either)

Chronics or Public Enemies would be your best bet out of those.

I'd go with chronics, i ride public enemys right now and theyre really good for all mtn and pow but not poppy enough for park, i can still ride em in park but theyre too heavy, i just got invaders just for park im stoked. Id say chronics are probably a bit of both.

alright thats good because the chronics are a tad bit cheapaer too, but they have almost the exact same specs as the PEs so ya i think your right on the chronics, i would get PEs if i had the money to buy a park ski to go along with my all mtns. but sadly i dont.

Ok i've decided to eliminate invaders from my choices and add anthems so what do you guys think between anthems, chronics or PEs for what I like to ski.

deff chronics, without question.  The anthem is too soft plus cos its a cap ski so wont hold an edge as well as the chronic plus as its symmetrical it wont carve a turn as well. Chronics have awesome swing weight and are so stable. Check out lineskis.com and watch the video on the ski and read the testimonials. Such a sick ski,plus its more bomber than a PE.

^^ i have both 06 chronic wides (similar dimensions) & anthems (last years) and i use my chronics for exactly the same thing you are looking to ski. if you are gonna ride predominantly all mt i'd defenitley go for chronics.

as much as this website shits on PEs, they actually really good new england groomer/ice/occasional powder skis. if ur a strong skier and like going real fast (ex racer or something), u'll really like them. the only thing i don't like about mine is their swing weight in the park, but they handle everything else really well.

Chronics, the pe's are heavy and terrible, and the Invaders are too buttery a ski for what you want.

have you ever skied a symmetrical ski? it skis exaclty the same because its still mounted over the sidecut. my anthems carve just about as hard as my race skis.

are the chronics flexier than the PEs? because I like a stiffer ski but the PEs are too stiff. And what do you guys think about the Kung Fujas? i thought they were mainly a park ski, are they making them more all-terrain this year?

oh why did they decide to go more for all-mountain? do they still rock in the park though?

the fujative can be skied outside the park, but will not excel in some conditions as other skis would. the idea of the kung fujas is to still have the park ability, with more of an all mountain kick. mounted a little back (like recommended on the fujative) but still close to center, with 2 different sidecuts throughout the ski so switch and normal riding is exceptional. basically a fujative on steroids, able to tackle anything on the hill.

Thanks man, you stated a lot of good stuff about this, its between the fujatives, the scratch brigades and maybe volkl bridges now. Now it basically boils down to which one  I can find the best deal on.

def get the kung fujas out of these. brigdes would work too, but them and the bridges are wayyy more built to go forward, where the fujas is designed to have the same ability, plus be way better at freestyle than the others.
