Hey guys, wonderin if you wanted to help me out.

I'm looking for a new ski for the 09-010 season, in terms of my skiing.

I jib alot, hit medium sized jumps and on pow days ill hit the pow (not waist deep or anything, just like 1 ft pow maybe 2) so i ski about 90% park and 10% pow, more or less. I was thinking the line afterbangs or k2 dysorderlies, but some people said it was a bad idea; what are your thoughts?

On3p Blue Steele perhaps? Can't find a better deal than 349 for a handmade 2010 ski.

Really don't like the graphic on the blue steeles.

Would the Kung Fujas be a good choice?

Yes, the Kung Fujas would be perfect, they stick it well in park, and do just fine in the pow. Another one to consider would be the Line Anthem, I dont know about the 2010 model,but the 08 skied just fine in pow, and killed it in park.

They said they might be able to be accommodating with the graphics if you really didn't like them, you might be able to choose a different graphic from their line, although as they may have already ordered the top sheets, shoot IggySkier a PM and ask you can still change 'em or if its too late, it couldn't hurt.

The Kung Fujas would be a good choice as well.

If you were looking at the kung fujative the on3p I would point you towards would be the jeronimo, not the blue steele. But yes if you were to order soon I could possible swap topsheets.

that would be my recommendation, with the slight rockered tip and tails, 95 underfoot will give you good float, but the ski is super soft and jibby with a fair emount of snap. cant go wrong there

as for the jeronimos, i cant make a testiment, but there are a lot of awesome reviews floating around, plus its a sick deal, and theyre handmade. thats like the trifecta of winning situations.

the extremes would fit you better since you would be doing minimal pow. but with that said they still have a pretty big shovel so pow is definitely possible. they will also be lighter but slightly less buttery

Ya but a center mounted park ski is useless out of the park.  The Jeronimo or the Kung Fujas would be a legit choice.

The Fujas arent symetrical. But compared to a lot of other skis its a bit closer. I think the tip and tail only differ by 5 cm. Honestly either the anthems or the fujas
