Hi im 5'7" 140lbs and i ski on the east coast about 80% park, 20% all mountain. I used to use PEs but i find theyre too heavy and stiff for me so im lookin for mainly a lightweight (and flexible would be nice too) ski. The flex isnt as important as weight for me i dont htink. What do you guys think? And for fujis i heard all the years are really similar so i might pick up 05 ones.

fujatives arent especially light, they have pretty average durability, i cant tell you much about the addicts since ive never ridden them, but i am most like going to buy some addicts this winter

hmm id thought more ppl would say addicts but im kinda gearing towards fujatives now. what i really wanna know is the weight of each ski. if the fujis can beat 3 lbs some odd ounces ill get them.

addicts. reinforced edges, sick skis, symetric, not noodles, over all better ski, fischer is the shit, cheap, ski great all mountain and are awsome in the park, i can go on. and i wouldnt make my choice over the wieght of a ski. your not going to notice.

well the PEs did feel like bricks and then i demod some Trouble Makers and Fujis and i could feel a significant difference in all three. all i want is something considerably lighter than pes cuz those things like tied me to the ground.

if your poor and will only use them for park get fujis, if you are willing to spend a little more and want a ski that's amazing in the park as well, but can also handle out of the park get addicts, both are durable so don't worry about that.

i cant in good conscience recomend you get the fujative, its a floppy noodle, has average durability at best, and lacks stability on landings.

fujy's and addicts are both super dope skis. I skied mostly the fujy's last year and i skied the addicts for a month or so. I would definatly suggest buying the addicts though, theyre so much fun. very solid ski

ADDICTS ALL THE WAY

torsionally stiffer than THE PE, but just as soft as the Fuji in the tip and tail.


so better edge hold while you bomb down the the park, and kick ass butters the rest of the time
