Hey ski buddies...I'm needing some of your ski knowledge...WHAT SKI SHOULD I GET?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?
I am 6'0" and weigh 160lbs...I ski 50% park & 50% the rest...
1. K2 Fujative (179cm)?
2. Volkl Karma (185cm)?
3. Rossignol Scratch FS WRS (181cm)?
***OR should I wait for the 07/08 K2 Fujatives...hmmm :(

Fujatives = (Arguably) Noodley Soft - Light
Scratch = Mid-flex - Light
Karma = Stiff - Fairly Heavy
Depends on what you want... you're a pretty big guy, you could probably handle the Karmas. I'm about your size and I'm looking pretty seriously into the new Scratches as a purely park ski.

Werd...I ski the K2 Public Enemies right now, and they are like cinder blocks...I'm probably going to stray from the weight and stiffness of this ski, so I guess the Karma's are out. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Karma's aren't actually that heavy. I held them up with my CR Lab's and didn't notice a difference. I have them both mounted with S914 bindings. And even though the Karma's are really stiff, they are poppy and you will get out of them what you put in. Whereas I've heard the PE's are 'dead'.

Yea if you want a light and good performing ski go with the scratch but thats not gonna be your best option for skiing anything outside of the park...theyre not stiff or damp enough for crud, not wide enough for pow, and that stable at high speed...or so ive heard
