Do invaders do good on groomers?

Yes I know....
way to many threads on line invaders.
But none of them say if they can hold an edge on east coast groomers.

Plus I am a very light skier, will the flex matter for the performance on groomers?

And no, don't tell me to get the chronics, they look way to stiff for my weight...

They're a park ski and the park is groomed. So they should be fine on all groomers. I haven't skied them though.

if you are a good skier, you can ski them in anything. i have 171s (07) and i have skied from a sheet of ice a Jay, which i dont sharpen them so that wasnt fun, powder at Stowe, and mad choppy rutted pow at Jay. I cruised right through everything but thats because i have been skiing for 14 years. i got chronics for this year so i think i will notice a huge defference

I had a pair of them and I ski the East. They'll be perfect.

They're good on groomers, especially if you're so light. Once you get into death cookies, sheet ice and frozen crud though, not so good.

this.

Also, you'll have to tune the edges with at least a 2 if you're doing groomers EVERY day.
