I know this is like the 1billionth thread on invaders but i searched and would get different answers. Im wondering if i shoul get invaders.
i ski mostly park probally 80% or 90%
i like to still go on groomers and have a fn time screwing around on them.
i live in ontario( in ottawa so i only ski in quebec really. Mont avila, mont tremblant etc)
i dont really get much powder at all but when i do i like to go and see if i can find find some fresh snow on un opened runs or in the trees etc( this is barely)
and i know i like line because i am currently riding Line chronic minis, which i love but they are alot wider...i think.
and i dont want to break the bank.
well is this a good ski for me?

I would go with the Anthems. A little wider, but about the same ski.

i checked, my line chronic minis have a 80mm waist and the 08 invaders have a 83mm waist, so i think i will be fine for the pow i ski.
oh and what about k2 Silencers?

If it does delam like my 06's, just rip the topsheet off, but I don't think it does it on the new ones. And yea, Invaders definitely. They are great in park and for butters, decent all mountain, and if you want to take a pow run, just lean back, you'll go through it.

I'm fixin to score some anthems cuz invaders seem really soft for jumps, but if you are really small I guess that might not matter much. anthems look soo sick though.
