not very, though they aren't the lightest park ski. i'd say they are in the middle as far as pure park ski go.

also how would they preform out of park. Like i'm a small guy 5'6 130pounds how would they do on groomers going fairly fast and on ocasional pow days

you're 5 inches shorter than me and weigh almost the same. I personally dislike mine for skiing chopped stuff. They're fine on groomers and pow but when other people have made tracks it gets hard to keep them together.

they won't handle the crud to great cuz they're soft, but they're be fune on groomers, and will work on pow days as you aren't too big and they have a wider waist.

They are normal as far as skis that size go. And they do handle well out of the park. I straightlined sadle at alpine on them a couple weeks ago, it wasn't even sketch.

Im almost exactly the same dimensions as you, im 5'5 and 130. And i've been riding the '06 fujitives all season at +4 and they're great. They're awsome in the park and at +4 the tips dont dive in powder too much.

I like them for groomers and powder is fun in them, but crud and high speeds are a little sketchy at times. Nothing major, just there are way better skis for doing that.
My fujatives plus P10s with lifter weigh half a pound more than my mad trix with tyrolia bindings... around 13.5 pounds.

a little heavier than 1080s, but 1080s are hella light, but they are much lighter than PEs.

the new ones have copper inserts in the tips and tails to stiffen them up for the times you go huuuuuge, so def pretty heavy. they also help you carry though your spins by increasing your swing weight

wow i deff think some of you guys dont know what your talking about. fugatives are a park only ski for a reason, they suck out of park. maybe its cuz i use mine for hte park, you know, what there intended for. After park ridding i rode groomers and big mountain on them and i might as well have has 2 2x4s taped to my feet. all i did was slide slide slide. you can not get an edge for shit. also, i find them faily heavy.
but i love them for a park ski.. i would buy them again for sure.

What do you mean couldn't get an edge? The turn radius is pretty good on them and I have always been able to hold an edge pretty well unless it's hard hard pack.
They're not big mountain skis, so don't complain if they can't perform big mountain. For what they are, they work surprisingly well in powder.

I skied that ski all over Whistler on a powder day and they worked fine. I'm 6'2" and weigh 185lbs.
"Can't get an edge? Too heavy? Park only?"
I think you are crazy.

That may be because your edges are rounded from rails. I found that when i'm in the park a lot. Then i sharpen the edges and they (my MT's) work fine outta the park but stick on rails :P
