they both claim to be making a symmetrical ski, like the invader, and I am interested because i want to center mount, but i hear the invader is soft, and it is skinny for my liking

anyone know anything about these skis?

I have seen K2's symmetrical park ski when the k2 rep was mounting them up. He mounted one of them backwards, but then he realized that the marked center line was actually 2cm back of true center, and he didn't let me flex them or anything. That's just about all the info i can give on that ski.

Ive seen the disorderlys in person... they are really sick... they are deff stiffer than the invaders. looked and felt like a really solid ski. I didnt see the salomon symetrical one though.
If you dont like how skinny or soft the invader is the antehm is the same ski only a little bit stiffer and wider.

and if you want a really legit symmetrical ski that is a little on the stiffer side... I cannot recommend my Moment Reno Jibs highly enough. They are amazing.

Let me know if you have any questions
