if you like fat and soft then the k2 fujatives are what you want.they are 99 percent park and 60 percent powder(dont say anthing about percentages,bitches)of the ones you chose, id go with the elizabeths.

i hear ya. try some line skis then, there %@#&*!# fat and can kill park or pow. they are designed like snowboards(elizabeth and sir francis bacon)so they should be great for groomers.

I've heard rave reviews of Surface from people that ski them. Moment, I'll be honest, havent heard much about them in the way of reviews.

I hear they're bringing back sexy by putting a rocker on the love life 179. If that's the case definatly get it cause you'll love rocker in the park just as much as in the powder, if not more

I'd say surface just from personal experience. second choice would be p4's. they're really light, and sick as hell

everyone can talk anyone into or out of buying a pair of skis. just find people that have the skis your considering and try them all. i would never buy a pair of skis before i tried them. so try all those skis on your list, just make sure the moments are one of them. nuff said

how about a 179 Made'n ak or Ak enemy? Seems like the K2s are among the most versatile of fat skis, and rock it on grooms, pow and park.

none of the k2's exept the hellbents are really not that interesting to me and i kinda wanna suport the smaller companies like surface and moment ya know? so i think its between the live/love life2 from surface against the moment skis

good choice.  surface is legit, their skis are amazing.  i don't know much about the love life's, but i'd be willing to bet you won't be disappointed.

Got p4s, they're incredibly fun all over. Soft poppy tail, stiff tip. Float well, rail groomers, and they become confidence inspiring the faster you go. Your mother.

the moment ruby's and comi's are real soft and snappy. i haven't tried those other skis, but i busted a few nuts when i rode the ruby's. i'm waiting to hear back from the guys at moment to find out what shop has them up in your neck of the woods. that way you can go check them out in person and cop a feel
