I want a fun buttery good park ski for only park. I ski at summit at snoqualmie at central. I want this ski to be able to do tip presses, butters, tail butters, but also be able to stomp clean landings. Also I would like for them for to be steady on rails and boxes. But i dont want to pay more than 250 thats why I have been looking around at the fujatives and invaders.

well if u want durability, dont get invaders, mine are kaput after 1 season on them, this thing more depends on your weight and how hard u ski, im a little guy (5'1 100lbs) and i can butter invaders just fine

i know a guy who destroyed a pair of 08 fungitives and 08 invaders before the season was up
durability wise dont expect the best from either cause they are both very price orientated skis
they also ski so similar to each other that its almost funny
id say just get the one that is goin for the cheapest right know

both will fall apart eventually but go invaders, better yet spend another fifty and buy anthems.
My freinds who have fuji's all hate them, you can't even mount very close to center without mounting off the plate.

fujatives are definitly more durable.. i found the fujatives softer in the tip than the invader's. the invaders have a really good pop to them.. but since the tail of the invaders (same thing as the tip since they are symetrical) are way softer than the fujatives tail... so if you tend to land back seat a little and dont want to wash out maybe look into the fujative..

no offense taken at all, the shop told my freinds that K2 would not allow them to mount past core center. They still tried to have them mounted center and the shop said they woudnt do it because of liability.
i wish i would have known that a long time ago so that my freinds could have center mounted.

i have fujatives, my roommate has invaders. his bases are like sandpaper after a day of riding, whereas i've waxed mine maybe 4 times all season, and i can still keep speed into jumps easier than him. the bases on invaders are the slowest things i've ever skied. other than that, they're fun skis, just really slow. i've put over 100 days on my fujatives and they're still in pretty decent shape, so durability is not an issue. the topsheet chips, but any ski will do that. they're also super easy to press and butter with, and i have mine mounted true center, with no problems whatsoever.

it really doesnt matter. the wax does not last for more than two days on that ski, its insane. carry a tin of paste wax with you for those desperate moments.

I hate the fujatives cuz there is dirrent stiff ness in tip and tail which messes up up for switch tricks.
