So I'm looking for a new pair of all mountain skis.
I probably split my time 40/40/20 between back country/groomers/park.
I am 6"3' and weigh about 90Kg.
To start off I have been looking at K2 Kung Fujas and Coreupt TJ's. Any help would be much appreciated....

I'd go with the Kung Fujas. The biggest reason why is that this is the first year that coreupt is using their own molds so it's a tough call on what the skis will actually be like, while the Kung Fujas is a tried and true, tested skis, and they're super fun.

Yea, Kung Fujas would be good, S3s would also fit the bill, as would ON3P Jeronimos.

i touched and saw all coreupts skis yesterday, all are pretty stiff, but still soft in the tails.
i ordered the TJ 2 weeks ago, so i have the premium care for free, i.e. if it breaks youll get it replaced for free. so i dont have to worry, but they only do that for the first 100 skis so i dont know how many they sold allready and if its still going, but if it does, u wont have to worry either.
the tj pro looks absolutely siiiicckkkk. best graphic and shape i have ever seen.
id say go for them.
but the kufus are rad too, as previously mentioned.
also consider the seth vicious, armada el rey, or völkl bridge, moment bibby pro etc etc.
just put those names in the searchbar and ull get tons of info.
PS (personal opinion dont hate :D)
dont put +K in your heading, then all the people who reply seem like they only want the K, but, at least thats how its for me, i know how hard it is to decide which ski to pic as i started freeskiing, so me, and i assume many others, want to help just for the sake of helping out a freeski buddy , and not for the k.

Volkl bridges, 92mm underfoot, mediumish flex, wide enough for some BC, can handle the park great, and they do pretty well on groomers for being as wide as they are

Kung Fujas are probably the best for park and all mtn and powder. I would go with those. and I heard they are pretty durable

mediumish? maybe compared to a race ski or big-mountain 2 by 4, but they are awfully stiff. I like it and they are sick for cruisin at speed. Workable in the park, but far from its speciality. If you go chronics, do the kryptonite for the extra few mm's. Line blend would be my # 1 suggestion.

compared to a park specific ski they are stiff, but for a ski n general they are pretty much a medium flex ski IMO, hes gunna be doing some BC not much park, and gunna be on grommers, should be a perfect ski for it

I've gone with the Armada JJ's for that type of skiing. Although, it's a bit fat for all mountain but it's versatile and awesome in powder.
