hey, i rode the fujitive, i didnt like them that much, they did okay in the park but at high speeds they were chattery and they soft as hell, i would consider something like the karma, its such a beast ski in the park and kills it everywhere eles, only herd good things about this ski

Karma and PE are both pretty stiff skis, the only time I rode the Fujatives I hated them more than any other ski I've ever tried, shaky, chattery and unstable was my experience, wouldn't ski them if you paid me to. The ARV's are a super nice ski for park, they butter smooth and are stable cause of the wide platform, whish also makes them float nicely in fresh snow, and cause you're pretty light they might work, but they are softer than both the Karma and the PE, so if you ski fast and charge hard you might overpower them, depends on the length you get though.

if you're ridin in the east for all but a week I wouldn't worry too much about pow performance. Odds are when you ski the pow you're gonna be havin a blast regardless.
