Hey, i need a new pair of skis for next year so i was looking over the line invaders and i hear alot of different stuff about them and i want to get to a conclusion, Should i buy!?

Im 5'1 and still growing  so im not to big i ski mostly hard pack, ice, and granular. i need a cheap ski cause money is hard to find.the BIGGEST jump i will probably hit is 40ft cause our park sucks.

so there you have it. Tell me what you think and if you can recommend a different ski that would also help.               

Thanks.

invaders are great for what you need, and for the price, they are amazing...pretty durable and buttery as hell

as far as price vs durability vs performance

the PX12 is the best binding for what it's worth

^can you beat $50 for a killer binding?

yea i just bought px12s for my ar6s and i would say they are very durable like bombproof. but a little on the heavy side.

you've obviously never skied an all metal binding.

PX12s are light.

no, they're not. griffons are lighter but way more money.

if you get invaders with PX12s you'll be super happy with them, I promise.

Im getting the 09 invaders as well....they are a soft buttery ski tahts 100% symetrical...im pumped for mine. you should prolly get 161s unless you grow a ton by the season. Im also getting the PX12's, I hear they're durable and light so you cant rly go wrong with em.

They don't break easily their bindings are probably the best thing they make. And the good thing is you don't have to buy their best binding for it to be good unlike Marker. ( I broke the heel piece 3 times in one season)

I'd say go with sth 12's if you're smaller which it sounds like you are or 14's if you ski really aggressively. Like break bindings all the time aggressively.
