What do you dig in the park?
They both have their perks, but after personal extensive use of both (as well as others) the TM is the better ski, especially for bigger jumps and pipe.

I have TM's and have skied both. If you are hitting big jumps or doing lots of fast ripping, the TM is the better ski. The Fujis are a fun as hell ski but they are significantly softer than the TM's so they won't be as stable ripping fast/landing big jumps. On rails, the Fuji's softness is appreciated doing butters and they are lighter, but Trouble makers still have great pop and are by no means heavy. If you are an intermediate park rider (ie, hitting nothing over 30ish, doing 5s or less) I'd go with Fuji's. More advanced than that, go with TM's.

Agreed. Ive used both and the tm comes out on top.
Fujative:
-Super poppy and buttery fun ski
-Solid for park
-Super Durable
-After a good amount of use they become pretty washy and noodly
-Better for switch skiing
-Wider so better in pow
TM:
-Stiffer ski, but a lot better for jumps and landings
-Super responsive and has a lot of agility
-Pretty darn durable with the re-inforced edges, but that can be the only problem
-Very poppy, and it lasts
Over all if your just in the park you might wanna go for the fujative, but if your a mor well rounded skier who does a majority of park and likes jumps more than rails, pick the tm.

I liked my Fujatives a lot. I even skied them in pow, and at core center they were pretty good, cause the snow was really light. They kill jumps in the park and are really fun for buttering. They sometimes lose an edge on hardpack/ice if you carve a tight turn , but a lot of skis do that.

I had the Fujatives last year and it felt like they were way to soft for me.. If you like to butter and rails then they are good ski but for like any jumps for 20 ft. just saying if you dont stick it perfect the fujative is gonna be slippin out on ou since of the flexability prob... but all in all i was happy with everything bout the ski until started to hit bigger shit... i would say right now if buy the TM...they seem to be a stiffer ski and will be better for larger jumps and still be good on rails... my vote is TM
All times are Eastern (-5)
