Public enemies heavy?

I want to buy new twin-tips, and was just wondering if the K2 Public Enemy is much heavier than other park skis.
And whatis the better park ski, the fujative or the enemy? i`ve heard that the fujative is lighter, has a better flex for butters and has more pop than the enemy. But it seems that most of K2`s team riders chooses the public enemy, though. Thanks for any comments!!

I rode the public enemys for 1 1/2 seasons. ITs a great ski. yes, it is a bit heavy, but i doubt you or anyone would notice it after a day of riding. If you only ski park, id get the fugitive. However, if you ski park, and mountain, the pe is way better while still being really good in the park. both skis will be fun tho.

The PE's are heavier than the Fujatives, but they are by no means a 'heavy ski.' Yes, the Fujas are softer and lighter, but the added stiffness in the PE produces a very stable ski that is extremely agile all over the mountain.

If you ski over 70% park and aren't a heavy dude, the Fujative is probably a good choice. If you are either a big dude, or you like to stray outside the park more often than not, definitely go with the PE. I ski the new PE pretty regularly and I've never put it up against anything it couldn't handle. The PE is also a SICK pipe ski.

I think you'd be fine with the 174, but if you are super aggressive and like long skis, definitely go with the 179...either way you'll get used to them quickly and be fine.

yes fujitives are good for that, public enemys arent that heavy, but if you arent a very good all mtn skiier you may not wanna get a fujitive because of how soft they are...i would deff go with fujis tho

I think they made the new PE's a lot lighter than years past.

weight doesn't really matter, i think the heavier the better, way more stable.
