AR5 or 06 Fujative

I am getting either one of these skis. I ruled out the PE as when i rode it last year it felt real heavy and long compared to other skis the same length and approx the same weight(like TM and 1080). The fujative looks so fun with the weird flex. But the AR5 has some pretty good changes. Which would be better?and which is more bombproof?

Fuji's are probably more bulletproof but in my opinon the AR5's ride better also they are a better ski out of the park

i havent ridden the fuji but i have ridden the ar5 and it is a great ski. much better carver than i expected. also, dont rule out the pe's b/c they are heavy. they are super durable and just all around sweet skis.

If they're the same price you might as well get the ar5's. If you ever plan on selling them, you'll get more.

AR5 is the way to go, no comparison. Lot more of a ski and better all over the mountain. I found fujative is good in park but no where else, far too soft.

but soft skis are so much more fun. They can still ski on powder, and pipe.

The fuji is lighter than the ar5. The ar5 is torsionally much stiffer=better edge hold and flat out it rocks. When i skied fuj is was so unstable through most conditions at speed, flaps, good on nose/tail presses though but ar5 has is dialed with versatlity, sickest ski ive skied.

dude if you want a light flexible fun ski id say probably the fujative, but i havn't ridden either of them, and im sure you can get the fujative for cheaper than the ar5, i would email jibij and ask if they ship to NZ and how much it is, cus 06 fujas r only 299

the pe probably felt heavy because they had demo bingdings, which suck. K2 and Line make the most durable skis out there, and next year will both be alot cheaper thanks to out-sourcing.

also they look so fun compared the the AR5. Its not as normal as other skis due to the unconvential flex pattern.

Fujis kick ass when it comes to buttering/tech stuff. and they're wider than the Ar5 underfoot, so they're moe stable on rails. AS for stableness, I ski in shitty conditions 24/7 at my resort, and I they don't flop around at all. Super stable on landings, lots of pop, you're going to love them.
