T-Halls or Fujatives?

So, I've been skiing on AR5s for 3 seasons and they have no edges anymore. I have a pair of Seth Viciouses (I never could figure out how to pluralize that name), so I want a pair of park specific skis. I was just wondering if there is much of a difference between the T-Halls & the Fujatives. I would prefer to spend as little cash as possible, but I don't want to sacrifice too much performance.

They're both pretty soft but I'd get Fujatives, they're incredibly cheap and make a decent park ski.

If you loved your ar5s and the construction and such, get the thalls. If you want to try cap construction and different specs, get the fujis.

lol.

Ive demoed the fujis, and own t-halls. I would say t-halls. The fujis felt bulky to me. I demoed a 169, and i ride a 176 t-hall. My t-halls feel so much more agile and manuverable than the fujis. only downside is the topsheep chips around the sidewall very easy, but just epoxy the chips down, and your golden.

whats the difference? come one man, on ski is made of cheap materials with a cap construction so they can lower the price. the other ski has a a higher quality core and is built better and will last longer. Dont compare a price line ski to a park specific top of the line ski. If you have the cash go with the t-hall, you wont regret it.

i demoed t-halls they're sick but they cost a lot. I've got ar6's, but if i was buying a new pair i'd spend the extra money to get t-halls cuz they dominate

silencers seem to do better than fujis. fujis are too soft so they loose their camber really fast and break. it depends on what you like, but if you weigh over 160lbs i'd stay away from the fujis.

Fuj to save money, really fun ski but they won't last as long as the t-halls, the fuj may last the season prob not, t-halls you will be able to get a few years out of like your ar5

i've ridden fujis, and have t halls but havent ridden em. i got thalls for a better deal than fujis, so i can't wait to compare. i'm thinking the t-halls will be better, usually more $$ means better quality. i dunno if they can get any better... i loved my fujis!

the fujatives are decent...ive only ridden them for a day, but in my opinion the t-halls are much better if you want a high end floppy park ski

Alright you gotta look at it this way. You want to spend as little cash as possible, right? You can get fugatives for $200. T-Halls on the other hand run about $350 or so.

So you're looking at almost twice the price for the T-Halls. Personally I'd choose the Fugatives for these reasons:

#1 - They're cheap as shit.

#2 - The only real durability issue you're going to be dealing with is the loss of camber. K2 makes good edges, and who really cares about cosmetic stuff?

#3 - Let's say that they only last you 1 year, maybe a little longer. Well if you're abusing the T-halls too, they're probably only last you 2, maybe 3 years at the very most. And that whole time after the first year, you would be riding the T-Halls out of Warrenty. Worst comes to worst... late season... let's say you're fugatives break... guess what, new skis next year.

#4 - Fugatives are a little wider underfoot. Idk personal preference, and plus i think it gives you a little more stability on jumps. (but i know someone is going to jump on my ass about noodles not being stable on jumps either).

I also forgot...

#5 At the end of the year, your fugatives could make a nice beater set for Urban.

i think t-hall. t-hall is lighter than ar6 which is pretty light. k2s are not known for being light. i could be wrong, but i dont think so.
