grr listen to foam haters, or even aknoledge their existance. But the the post nomensteven quoted is right. the foil core is sick, it's just too soft for bigger folk

I know I break the rule, but I'm a 'bigger' guy (6'2 190) and I ride the 182 foils. They're my park ski, perfect in the park for me actually, but I certainly wish they longer and stiffer outside of the park. Fortunately I have other skis.

Yep.
One is a stiff ski, the other is a softer ski.
Both are good all-mountain skis, both can be taken into the pipe and park, though neither is necessarily most at home there.
If you're bigger, say above 175 lbs. then you'd definitely want Karmas. If you're smaller, say below 150 lbs. then you'd definitely want the Foils.
If you're in the middle between 150-175 lbs. then you can get away with either as long as you pay attention to length, a little short on Karmas, and a little long on Foils.
