Im gonna be skiing, 99% park, considering where I live... So I think im gonna go with the Invaders, especially because they're lighter and im a small guy. Thanks for the help.

i just bought the fujis, i did think they were kind of stiff. i didnt get them mounted yet cause i want to compare the invaders, whenever my shop gets them in. but i like the fujis graphics better, and the fact that i have the choice not to center mount

Don't get invaders. But only get fujatives if you plan on doing just park because its a shitty all mountain ski

that is awesome, good call

but seriously, invaders might be cheeper, and if you are not as strong as a skier, the softer ones will be easier turning

but try to demo them,

but from experence, it really wont matter because you will improve as a skier reguardless of your ski

The Fujative was always only really soft in the tip never in the tail. But the head Ca K2 rep told me it's the same ski and I have skied both last years and this years and it's the same ski. By the way to the guy who started this thread get the Invader it's a better ski for you. I've skied them as well pm me if you have any questions.

Na not really. the ONLY thing thats stiffer is the tail and its not much stiffer. And apparently the nose is a bit softer this year too. I loved mine all season. Had alot more pop but still very buttery. I skied mine out of the park all season and found them ok but obviously not as good as alot of other skis.

I rode both and it really doesn't matter what you get, depends if you want more almountain--get fugative. But either way, you will love either pair.

you can find last years fuja's for very cheap and they're great skis for pure park. Apparrently much softer than this years, so the 159 should be good for a little guy like you

Lame

this years fuja's ride pretty good in and out of park, the invader also ride good, but on the first day out on his invaders my friend took a chunk out all the way down to the core from just sliding a box, and brandt my other friend, his which he got from tim russle off of NS, his started to delam, but im sure they were prototypes bc tim rode them in the orage masters earlier
