How are they all mountain from those who have rode. I lost a TM to a car wreck and need some new ones and was considering invaders. I am 120 lbs an 5ft 5 in. PRobably looking either 161 or 171. Ski in Summit County, Mostly all mountain with trips through the park, like bumps steeps, and pipe, want to start rails and actually pushing jumps. Thanks

and 178 if you do get them, bigger because they are center mounted

has anyone in this thread skied invaders?.... probably not


i have the invaders and skied em out in whistler this summer. They handle suprisingly well all mountain. My biggest reccomendation would be go witha a slightly bigger ski you wont notice much. I skied a 161 1080 until the 178 invader and after about 20 min i was good to go

If by all mountain, you mean groomers, then they'll be fine. But they can't take any kind of powder. I was skiing some closed trails this past weekend at Mt Snow and they couldn't even take the 8 or so inches of powder.
