Ok, I already have a pair of 169 Pistols and Im looking to get a pair of Fugatives as a true park ski mainly to slide rails and mess around doing urban stuff. I do not plan on taking this ski anywhere other than the park. I want a good ski that I will be able to take to SMS camp this summer. I was just wondering If i should go with a 159 or 169. I'm 5'10' 155lbs. What do you guys think?

169, I'm 5'4 and I ride a 159 PE but I use that for all around.

i would for sure get at least the 169, center mounted the 159 will feel like snowblades to someone your height

169 at least
179 if you go big
It's a light ski

my friends 5' 10'' and he got '69 enemys and he always complains about how he should have gotten the '79. the 179 would probably be the best choice.

i'm 5'10 as well and i ride 185 pocket rockets and 181 1080s - GET THE 179s. Dont be a pussy, besides with the turned up tail the length is a little bit shorter, also with centre mounting you want to be on the longer side. And if you go big you'll want the extra length.
extra length is steezier

is the regular mounting point on the fujatives at true center?

Ok, so what does mounting them at the true center do? Are they better for sliding stuff? Landing stuff? Does the ski still ski like its ment to?

It will spin *slightly* better because there's equal weight in front and behind you. It will ride/take off/land switch *slightly* better. It will definitely decrease how well the ski carves, because the mounting point is centered at the center of the sidecut. With a ski like the Fujative, you're probably only buying it for park. Because if you wanted an all-mountain twin from K2, you should have gotten the PE. If you wanna center-mount it, you could, but it'd probably fuck up the flex profiles, which is one of the coolest parts of the ski.

You should just save the money on the Fujatives, jib on your Pistols because you are HUGE for 169s, and buy some 179 SP's for pow days. Hey, Pep jibs on SP's, so can you.
