So my skis got stolen...

I had 2005 Line Invaders that got stolen and now I'm shopping for new skis. I havn't really been keeping up on the new ski models and I was wondering what ski you guys would recommend. I want a ski like the Invader which I'm guessing compared to many skis was a pretty stiff ski. I'm looking for any brand and size wise about 160 or so. I pretty much do park all day every day so I need a good ski. Any suggestions?

If by stiff ski, you mean a complete noodle, okay.

The Line Afterbang is the direct replacement of the invader.

unless you're 12, don't buy 160s.

Invaders were def noodles. Did you have the OG ones with the pink bases? If so, I cant believe they didnt delaminate on you!

As other have said, the line afterbang is the direct replacement to the invader. Maybe take a look at the k2 domains, they are soft, and have rocker in the tips and tails. That makes the ski more playful and easier to butter ect.

I felt thte old line invaders were decently stiff but like I said I really don't know the ski market that well. I don't want to go to long on the skis because I am not that dominate of a skier yet. I've been really narrowing in on like a 166 to tell you the truth. I am pretty short at 5'5 or so.

Pffft, that's rediculous. I'm 3' tall and ride 191 Caylors for backyard skiing specifically, and those are way to short.

But I would look at the K2 Domain in 169, the older Icelantic Da'nollies in 170, And, if you can find them, the old Urban Punx in 166.
