Invader or Yard

I need new skis for next season and I can't choose between the Line Invader 161 or the Coreupt Yard 165. I'm 5'7 and 130 lbs. I'm a begginer so I want them shorter to have more control in and out the park.
Which one should I take?


Sorry for my english i'm french.

Both of those skis are made to be cheap and that's about it.  Flip a coin bro.  You are small so they are both going to do fine.

They're both a fun ski, so i wouldn't worry about it too much. Your English isn't bad at all either.. way better than most posts on here.

The invaders are pretty soft at your hight and wieght on 161s they would hold you back outside the park and possibly on bigger(like massive) kickers. i did generally love them in the park though, the yards i have not skied so i cant say much about them.

If I were you I'd get the 171's....You'll get used to them and you wont regret it. Im like 5'7ish and have been skiing for 2 years and I still got them. GO BIG!

get the 171's at least, im 5 10 and im on the 178s and i wish they were longer, like a 185 invader would be nice for me.

they ski pretty short when center mounted
