ok well i am looking into new skis i had a thread bout the fuji's but wasnt getting to good of feedback on them. From what i can tell K2 makes one of the best park ski's so i was wondering which of there skis is the best for skiing strictly park and age of ski makes no difference

From what I've heard and seen, Fujatives are the sickest, especially for the price. Center mount of course.

If you like a soft ski for park try and get some gen.1 or gen.2 pistols the are awesome but they dont hold an edge very well at least my gen.1's dont, but they are so soft and fun... I also like my SVs they are a lil stiffer but they are stil a lot of fun in the park but not like they are for big mtn, and they hold an edge Much better then the SPs I also like my bros PEs but not for park they aren’t all that responsive but they hold the best edge so it depends on where your skiing

line skis are gonna be made in the k2 factory now so quality problems shouldn't be a problem.. unlike last year when line produced most of their skis (including the invader) in china. and if you have problems with line now, their warranty is the shit.

For this next year, all the K2's ski differently, but perform/feel the same. I really thought that the silencer was amazing, but if I had extra coin for an addition to the quiver I would invest in a pair of Vicious' -- they were the best of the test, I thought.

just to let you know, K2 produces all of their skis in China. So line skis are still gonna be produced in China, but in a different factory under different processes I presume.

i think either the vicious or the made'n are the best skis k2 makes. super versatile and it looks so much more sick shredding park on a wide ski. i don't even need to say anything about their all mountain abilities. sooo sick.

all you people saying that K2's don't hold an edge should perhaps first look at themselves ability wise vs blaming the ski. when it comes right down too it, the skis go where you point em - no ifs, ands, or buts.

the seths & madeNs(heavy) seem to be super popular at about +4 to +6 depending on your park / mtn habits. i heard they are changing the top sheet once again this year so hopefully the slight 'chipping' issues will be even less troublesome now. btw i have 05/06 PEs at 169 mounted +4 and they are totally awesome. to beat the saying to death once again, it all depends on what your doing.
