I need a ski for this ski season but i dont know what to go with. I can get elan pogo twintips with bindings for 275 bucks.   invadrs are like 185 without bindings but with them unless ican find cheaper bindings its like 325 dollars.   Are invaders that much better than elan pogo twins or shouldi go with elan cause their cheaper

if you can, try not to cheap out gear if you have they money. you want to make sure you get a quality binding because you can get easily injured with a shitty binding. if you would like some reccomendations give us your height, weight, what kind of skier level are you, and what you ski

invaders for $185 and you can easily find nice binders for $100...they're on tramdock all the time. REI has some good binding deals, evogear.com. etc...get the invaders but if you dont mind me asking where are they $185 for? thanks.

Did you want a noodle wierd jib ski?  If not don't even consider invaders.

I'd say just wait around here for a bit for a new or used but in good condition good pair of skis with a good price.

i would go with the pogo, its a bomber proof ski, and it can shred any where, most definitely your best option.

I would say invaders all the way. Check out my thread to see the 08 171 invaders I am selling. I really need to get rid of these.

yeh i reccomended the invaders too...cuz i like a soft playful jib ski but on second though you should consider what you like to do...tell us your style of skiing and where you spend most of your time on the mountain and then we can give you an more informed decision on which to pick
