So i got a pair of fujitives 169 (gettin them remounted to center this week)
I ski basically half park half everything else
I am thinking about getting a fatter ski like the Seths
Do u guys recomend getting the Seths?
As in would there be a big difference between the two?

hearsay is that it is ya know? if you're having an issue with it i'd worry about it.

seems like the seths are big mountain skis, i wouldn't know i have not skied them. but i have scratch BC and i def would not use them in park, not sure how much different the seths are

i thought the fugative was like a all mountain ski, if you only have one pair of skis, seems like the seth would hinder you in the park.

just thoughts.

i think they're fairly spendy. saw some on craigslist two years old for 400. not saying he sold them, but thats a big numebr for two year old skis.

id definitely think about not getting seths, period. For the amount of backcountry stuff that you say you do, the seth really isnt your weapon of choice, no offense at all but its way too wide of a ski to be runnin in the park with. Not saying you couldnt do it, but there are better alternatives for what you need. In terms of width, something in the high 80s underfoot is a better consideration. for example, a few skis i would take a look at:
armada ar6-- perfect half and half park/all mtn skis, dank in the park
volkl wall- i just bought a pair, and i can say they are amazing all around and aweosme center mounted, and fast as fuck.
head mojo 90- insane all mtn
i hope that helps a little, but its just an opinion, good luck etc.
