are the too skinny to ride in deep powder? im looking at skis this year, and im kind of on a buget. they are super cheap, and they are about the same size as the mad trix right?

Yeah, I've ridden them in pow a bit too. They did fine. There are much better skis out there for powder but if you're on a budget, you won't be hating life on fuj's in powder.

I am glad someone made a thread like this. I was wondering a similar thing, but more specifically how they handle tree skiing. anyone know how they compare with TMs?

Where did you get your clothes, the toilet store?

i rode my fujis out in mammoth this past year during those freaking huge snowstorms out there, one of the days there was just too much snow so i demoed another pair and all was fine, besides that i loved them. they really are a fun as shit pair of skis.

its more about the tip size than the waste, my ar5s are 80 underfoot but 114 at tip which made powder pretty sick

what's up now bitch

technically, no ski is too skinny for powder....I learned switch pow in troublemakers. it depends on the skier, but the width just makes it easier. so if its too "skinny" then its not like skiing powder will be hell. and besides, they float reletivley well.

because I like pooh.

hahaha stupid dolphins.

skinnier skis = more sinking = more face shots = bragging rights on pow days

My fujatives float pretty alright in powder.
The new fujatives are even wider, so they should be very good... well unless you're comparing them to made'ns or prophets.

i just bought PE's over fujis because they seem a little mushy to handle well in soft snow. I think 100 bucks for a stiffer, more well rounded ski is def worth it.


but if you stay in park mostly, go with fujis

I'd love to stay and chat, but your a complete bitch, so bye!

since its tomorrow can i get breakfast?

Yeah i was wondering about this, and cant decide if the Fuji is too soft for the old pow or not. I dunno whether to spend the extra cash and go with the Public enemy?

i ride 04 fujatives, and in pow i find them to be better than i thought.

they do get pretty bouncy though.

(not really related, but bombing down groomers fast on the fujatives while watching my tips bounce scares the hell out of me)
