i just got the fuji's and they are sick. if your going for the trouble makers wait till next year if you plan on hitting rails with them. but the fujative is an awsome first park ski because at +7.5 the swing weight is perfect and your set back so they own the groomers too.

dont get the fujis, because if your just starting the odds of you being mostly in the park are slim, the fuji is a mainly park ski, get anyother on your list but not the fujis

if you are just starting, the rossignol scratch FS would be a good ski for you.
they are fairly soft, compared to some other skis (easy to maneuver), have a pretty intermediate sidecut, and are durable.

im about the same size as you and i have the guns. sick ski that can carve grommers well if you want it too. soft enough for park and pow. i would go with the 175 guns or the BC in the 176(?) area.

dude i'm the same as you... skinny as hell, my first skis were PEs which were to stiff and then i got the fujis which are sick. next year i'm getting t-halls, but definatly get the lightest ski possible if you're under 150lbs
