I'm in a real pickle. The Karma seems like the perfect ski for me. I like to do it all. The problem is, I weight right around, or just under 150lbs. I ski hard but I've been used to the soft troublemakers and I hear 150 is a little light for the karmas. Is it too much ski for me, throwing around in the park and whatever? Also, I wont pay full price for skis: Volkl is now my only connection. Help

I'm five feet, nine inches, and weigh 150 lbs. I love my Karmas. If you do it all, and ski hard, then they are great for you. I have mine in a 177 and love them. However, I also love the dogens just for dickin' around in the park all day. Softest ski I have ever been on (Dogens). The Karmas just take the cake though for a ski that can ski the whole mountain, and still rip in the park.
