a friend of mine is buying some ski's and he wants an all mountain ski. Good on groomers, good for some park ( not alot, but some jumps, boxes, maybe butters and jibbing) and good for some pow days..

he is looking into the Armada ARV and the K2 Kung Fujas, both this years.. he wants to know wich is softer/more playfull.. He doenst do blacks or anything like that, but he wants the must fun ski that can do it all.. please help him out..

I believe this years arvs are stiffer than last years right? so the kung fujas will be softer? and are there more options for him? thanks

The Fujas is a lot stiffer than the ARV, which is really soft. The ARV sounds like the perfect ski for this guy. That or the Obsethed.

I believe they did stiffen up the ARV compared to previous years

The Kung Fujas wouldn't be a bad choice at all - reminds me of original Seth Pistols

ARV's used to be sooooo soft but they were stiiffeened but still should be less stiff than fujas

How can you possibly ski pow if you don't do blacks?

Kung Fujas is softer.

I meant that I'm more into pow than racing down black groomers, so I want a softer ski.. wich is also nice for park

Comparing this years models, by flexing them Id say the Kungs are softer.
