Line Invader ?

I'm not sure whether or not to get the LINE Invaders. I live in the east and I'm going to ski park almost 100% of the time, but when I go out west I am going to ski all mountain, not anything huge like cliffs or backcountry . I'm also worried that it might be too hard to ski all mountain because you pretty much have to center mount the Invaders.

sounds like you need 2 pairs of skis, if not try bluehouse mr's, sick for park but 93 underfoot for those all mountain days

How often do you go out west?

If it's only one trip, save the $$ and get a one ski quiver. If you want to stay with Line, get the Anthems or the Blends (pretty wide, 100mm underfoot, but they still would kill it in the park)

If you don't want to stay with Line, Armada ARVs would do the job, among numerous other all-mountain skis

they will do fine for all mountain if you arnt into backcounrty and hucking cliffs.. I have them and ski them all mountain and they do fine. Andy they would be a perfect east coast ski so i think you couldnt go wrong with the invader..

i'm not sure how big you are but i just thought i'd throw it out there 'cause no one else had. what about elizabeths? i rode them all last year. shorter, playful feeling park ski but with a wide base. i live out west and skied them everyday in the park and on several powder days last year and loved them the whole time
