dude it might sound more like a powder ski to you but i just got the 05 pistols and they kick ass in the park.

plus on the rare powder day you can rip up the pow

I have a pair but I weigh close to 210lbs, 6'3". They have a good width under the foot so they are quite stable on rails and ride switch relaly good. They do weigh quite enough so you better try them first.

I'm curious why you would recommend Karmas for the park.

not to seem critical, but,
i doubt youve ever rode karmas they are actually really good for the park maybe a little stiff but thay actually pop pretty nice. but in my opinion i think if all you want your new stix for is park id get t-halls. thats just me though. but it seems like your a big guy so you might not wnat a couple wet noodles on your feet and want something a little stiffer and so karmas actually might be pretty sick for you/\.

The Karmas seem slightly fat for the park and I heard they are pretty stiff, I always thought they were more of an everything ski, not as good at park as park specific skis. Then again this guy is pretty big so they might be ok for him.

wellll they're described as an all mountain park ski but i ski them at 161 and im 5' 6" 140 lbs. and they dont seem to stiff kinda hard to butter ollie and manual because of the stiffness but that stiffness is actually appreciated by some people, like me, coming from a race background i alos have salomon 720's and they are a little too soft for my likings cause when your just haulin ass they go all wiggly an shit

id say fugis or karmas are your best bet, they ski well anywhere.

Foils are good in the park but they look live a 5 year olds classroom wall, the graphics are ridiculous, but alot of people like them.

i heard that the dual edges on this year's triplets have been spererating from the base for a lot of people.  My friend has last year's though and theyve held up really well.

if you could find the Karma's that would be great, but they stopped making them, and it took me about five weeks to find a pair on the other side of the country, buy them if you can
