You might have a bit of trouble finding a new pair of fujas now. They are the kung fuja now. But basically the fuja is softer and more buttery. It's a park ski whereas the silencer was more park/all mtn

alright sweet i used to just ask my older brother about all this but hes out to university now, any suggestions to what else would be some good all mountain twins similair to silencers but with a better design possibly.

The extremes. Or the exts or whatever they are, they're next years skis. I think they are just silencers with a sidewall.

If I had to pick between the two, I'd get the fugitives, they have more meat on them. That being said, try to pick up a pair of public enemy's or extremes, the are more versatile than the fugitives because they are a little stiffer so they will work better skiing all mountain. They are pretty damn fun in the park as well.

I believe he was talking about silencers vs. fugatives not pep fujas.  The thread title says fugatives so I would assume that is what he meant at least.


To the thread creator thoooo..  some of my buds ride the silencers and say they are heavy compared to fugatives so I would try to hit up the fugatives for sure..  I could be wrong but give em a try.

Fujatives are not around anymore. The Kung Fujas is Pep's new ski. It's totally different. The Extreme's aka the EXT are the old Public Enemies, but way better. The Disorderly on the other hand is a symmetrical ski, and I've heard some good things about them. The Fujatives don't have much sidecut, but if that's what you like then the Chronic is nice. I have 169 Silencers, and they are so heavy. I just bought some 178 Larose's and I fucking love them. So much pop. So playful. They are center mounted, and I've even taken them through the trees at Keystone. Liberty skis also has a 3 year warranty on all their skis.

I've got the first generation Fujatives (red ones) and I love them.  I'm 6'3 and have some meat on me and they are soooo fun to butter around on and play with.  I've got a friend with Fujatives from two seasons later and  he says they are stiffer than mine, but regardless.... so much fun.  If you can find em', get them.
