i know these skis are pretty different, but lemme know what you think........now for the details
i'm 6'2''  178 lbs.... whatever i buy will be used exclusively for park (189 hellbents for pow). i live/work in aspen so the x-park is the playground of choice. i'm about 50/50 rails/booters...and the booters are usually big 50-65 ft stepdowns.  i was thinking 182 for the alphas and 179 for the peps (the 189 peps looked too big for park). i like the idea of a fatter ski in the park, but the peps seem like they might be a little too soft for the big landings. also, i've been on ar5's for so long that the alphas seem like a safe bet. last thing....does anybody know how good coreupt tj's are or what they are similar too?

WTB = Want to Buy
Also it would still be in Gear Talk.

that makes a lot of difference but sitll brotha, talk about that in Gear Talk forums and you will get a lot more attention there. here people just talk about skiing and related things in general.

hope this helps.

dont post WTB if you mean what to buy as a discussion, post what you mean in your thread title.

I just had the opportunity to fondle both of these skis next to each other the other day. I would 100 percent buy k2s over alphas - first because I like the way k2s ride and I hate the way the new armadas do, but besides that because the k2s honestly feel way more quality in your hands. Pick them up and you will know what I mean.

plus the rocker on the k2s looks absolutely MONEYYYY for park. I ride rockered ON3ps in the park and it's soo fun.

Check out the ON3P Jeronimo is a 181cm.  Another option to consider.

that's what i get for posting at 2 am.

Agreed with what he said, I even mentioned it. I ski on J-mos, I forget they are on sale now. Very similar to the Fujas, super solid skis. Check em out.
