I've seen alot of threads about "What skis to get" and ones like that so I have a decent idea of what I want. I'm an intermediate skier, but I have just recently got into freeskiing and hitting the park. I would be riding probably 60-65% park and 35-40% groomers and black diamonds. So I'm looking for a good park ski and pretty decent on the whole mountain. I was looking at specifically Invaders and the Silencers, but I really don't know what I need / want. Also I'm 5"8, what size ski would be good for me to start off with and progress in the park.

Thanks

so you say you like to ski black diamonds?
does that mean you were born to go fast?
line invaders were born to go fast.
they are also very cheap at this website
buy them

alright defently dont go wit invaders bc unless u ride 80% park and higher there not tht good for all mountain.  right now i ride the 07-08 silencers and there ok but not tht durable...there pretty good all mt and a lil iffy in the park.  idk ur price range but i just orderd the chronics from sierraski for 280 lastnight.  chronics are a park orinted twin tip but still shreds the mt.  i would proboly say anywhere from 171-178 for you

I would say if you have the money go with the chronics as well the invaders are a great ski but if you want to do alot of all-mtn carving and stuff its not the best thing. Plus the chronics are bomb proof and will last you a long time.

Can't go wrong with the ar6's. Great park ski and stiff enough to bring it on the whole mountain. I would deffinitely reccomend them to you even though i don't have them, my friend does though.

Go for the Invaders. If you are worried about them being floppy (they won't be at your size) get Anthems or Chronics.
