Völkl Karma's or K2 Public Enemys

Karma: 8
Hi
I going to buy a new pair of skis, and i am going to buy karmas or public enemys.
I ride like 80% park and 20% powder.
So I wonder what skis that will be the best for my riding. I'll get em for nearly the name price so money isn't the problem.
I maybe think that Public Enemys are more a park ski and that I should get them, but I dont really know...
Thanks!

I've got a new pair of 2005 PE's 179cm I'll let you have for $275. The Fujatives are probably better for the park because they are lighter. I have a 2005 Fujative in 169cm new that I will let go for $240.

How are you getting Karmas for the same price as PEs?

seriously........but if you really can get them for the same price, the karma definetly has more performance wrapped into it, overall a very solid ski. ive never really liked the PEs either, but theyre still a very good ski for a very wide range of skiers. Def the karma tho.

I don't blame you for wanting to buy from someone other than on NS. I really wouldn't try to deal with shipping to Sweden either. Of course, you could come to the US and pick em up.

karmas a a stiff ski but if your leaving the park at all, they are fucken great skis to have under your feet. i find em to be an awesome park ski but they are stiff for some people. I'd say go karmas if you can get em for the same price.

yeah, maybe i'll go with karma, but it feels like PEs will be better in the park or is that wrong?

i cant really decide what skis im going to buy, put for now it feels like the PEs, because i like the design better than the karma, and also i think PE is a better park ski and karma is more a offpist ski.
But maybe it'll be karma anyway because i get it 20% cheaper than the real price.
Any suggentions ?

i am thinking the same thing, but my question is if having karma's in 185 is too big?? for park and jibbing.

i own both a pair of karmas and PE's i have to say my heart is with the karmas much more of a soul ski ver very nice in the park, and turns no problem through anything on the hill, plus my PE's were beat to fuck last year, they are real easy to completely kill...

^dude i dont know what youre talkin about. the PEs are built like a rock. theyre one the hardest pairs of skis to destroy.
i think the PE is a better park ski, and it performs really well all over the mountain. my only gripe about it is that its really heavy. i havent ridden the karmas though, so my advice isnt the best.

the karmas are a stiffer ski and are better all around, but the new PE's are wider this year, so they will have better all mountain performance than in years past. The PE is pretty stiff and can hadle anything, but is not as stiff as the karma. Basically, they are both great skis, but it come down to your preference in stiffness, price, and personal company preference. One thing to think about, the PE has a thicker edge that does not break easily.
