Hello guys.. I know that this has been up several times before, but not with the terms that i have for the skis.

10% park, 90% all mountain..

I am 180 lbs and 6'2.

I have the line invaders, but never really liked them. They are extremely slow on groomers.. and I like to race my friends.

I only hear got things about both skis, but with little to no park, what ski would be best for me?

Another problem are the length. The 183 blend seems perfect. The fujas only come in 179 (a bit short) and 189 (a bit too long)...

Help me out please. And if you have some other suggestions feel free to post as well.

thanks.

The 179 fujas are atleast as big as the 183 blends. k2 measures wierd. and I would go for fujas but thats just me. i love mine and find them perfect for everything. not to stiff or to soft.

Rock the 179 Kung Fuja's, they should be nice and quick, depending  on how you have them mounted they should carve well on and off the grooomers.As far as park goes, they should float nice on landings, keeping it soft.

Fujas for sure.

Ridden both. Fujas better all mountain/pow and no worse in the park. Well that's my preference anyway, some people prefer blends.

Hey again..
Thanks for the reply.

I really dont think that I will like riding a 189 ski.. Way longer than everything i have ever ridden before.

Will I be missing out if I go 179?

Another thing is the graphic.. I really like the blends print compared to the fujas.. And the fact that line is more "underground" is also somewhat more appealing.

Personally i lean against the line blend.

Which is stiffest?

I also have the volkl wall, which is very stiff, but very fast on groomers.

I only ski 15 days a year (europe). Will I even notice a difference between the skis?

And im not going to mount center. Somewhere around +3 from recommended.
