I am a new member and wanted to test this out.  I am looking for a new set of skis.  I want something that i can grow into and use fo like two or tree seasons.  I am about 5 feet tall and I cant decide witch to get.  I still havent hit my growthspurt.   I really lik 4frnts and lines.  I kinda like solomons.

I only have one prob with the new invaders.  They look phucking retarted.  I have the o7 invaders.  i think they are the only good versions of the invaders.  I think 151cm is almost exactly 5ft.

it shouldnt be too bad i jumped from 159 to 171 and with the centermount they feel shorter when you are skiing but you might want to measure it out and see how much bigger that is than you

u should have gotten 161, i hate to say this since u purchased them but i think you made the wrong choice, I was your size last season and i skied 151 invaders all season and they felt just a bit to short

When I was there, I talked to the Line rep and he told me to get the 151s.  he said they were way too short.  + my parents were being gay and wouldn't let me get the 161s.  it kinda sucks, but it is still a good ski.

Why do people reccomend invaders..

I mean, other than their price, and butterability, there really isnt much going for them.
