If your skiing only park, then yeah invaders. Or even find some k2 fujatives, those are great skis.

i had the original invaders, they delaminated, so my shop gave me the next years fugis free, and they were fun, but they are so flimsy.. i wouldnt go with either.. check out volkl wall in 169, or 177
symetrical ski... sturdy and fun

did not say that, just saying they are flimsy.. my invaders were fun while they lasted, which was 2 weeks of skiing til they delamed
nothing against line though, great company.. i love my octolands

Don't worry about the later invaders (O7-08)(08-09) delaming. I skied mine hard and they just have a couple scratches on the topsheet

also suggesting the volkl wall in 169 for your height and weight

symmetrical ski that is stiffer, but very playful and has pretty good flex in the tip and tail for pop

115-87-115 so it can handle a bit of pow too
