So i got fugitives this year, they are mounted at core center. BUT i have a feeling that they are gona be to soft for when im not just in the park and when im haulin down steeper stuff and carving bigger turns. What you think?

they are very soft skis and are made to be park specific. I dont mind mine all mtn but for hauling i think you got the wrong ski.

They'll probably be ok on groomed stuff, but once it gets choppy or icy you'll be working hard to keep them in control. If it's hard, it's only making you better at skiing.

depends on how much you way. Im small, like 5' 1"ish, and i only way likt 100 lbs so i got them because i need a ski that would have some flex with my weight. They're pretty sick for me but i imagine that if you weigh a lot then they'd be really shaky at high speeds and stuff.
