I would pay 30 more bucks to get the Fujatives. Much better bang for your buck, and they are almost the same ski but the silencer is a little stiffer and 5mm shorter under foot.

Not 'almost the same ski' at all, but you are right on the last two bits.

From what I understand, the Silencer is sorta just a first year PE, with different graphics. Hopefully Schmies can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just what I was led to believe. And, go to www.tramdock.com. They have them, and it's sick company.

Word....Tramdock rules. And they have free shipping, and it is super fast. They are here in utah and it came the next day. It doesn't work like that with other companys. And if something dosent work out they will trade or give your money back no hassles.

I got mine last year from untracked.com -- free shipping and no sales tax. $299 and not a penny more. Check 'em out:

Good luck.

The difference between the silencers and the fugitives is that the fugitives are more strictly a park ski. i hit up the park a lot but i also like to scale the whole mountain also, and from what i've read on here the silencers are the better bet. I messaged willie but he won't reply to me. And i really want the silencers for under $300 maby 250, just something that i can better afford cause i have to get bindings too so it makes my wallet a little thin

i have silencers. had them since last season. I keep them wicked tuned and theyre decent for the home hill i lovingly call ice hill. i dont do tricks and shit, but they certainly are a stiffer ski in that department. they are very slender under foot. so if youre planning to take them on the whole hill and that hill is big/real with real snow, i'd take your bros advice and go the fugitive route. I took these "bad boys" to whistler and was hatin' life. need wider/bigger to get through the crud and slop. so for midwest burning = good, wild wild west = bad. unless you sick purely in those parks then they may not be too bad. i'd still go the fugitive route or actually i'm going the seth route. although the fugitive is softer. so thats your decision then stiff vs soft. the same question i posed to yer ma! nooch. j/k. everyone have a great and injury free season!!!!!!!!!!!
