I asked the question about ski boots and skis too. The best choice, As I thought was Kung Fujas for me, but now don't think so again. I focus on K2's and almost decided them but I couldn't choose the mode- Kung Fujas or Revivals. Does any of you skied on them? As I mentioned I am looking for all mountain skis. I don't ski in the USA or Canada,so don't judge with the snow. I think I am going to ski about 45-60% groomers or half groomed snow, 30-40% powder and maybe 20 or more park. this is of course not exact information. at first i thought that Kung Fujas would be the best for everything but now I think that their big waste won't be good on groomers. Revival seems to be good, but what do you think about them on the groomers or powder? actually I ski the least in the park and that's why I can't decide, otherwise I would probably take revivals. What do you Guys think about this? which will be the most suitable for me? Thank you in advance.

i had the same problem, i was really stoked off the kung fujas and thought they would be the best ski for me. I ended up going with the revivals though, the kung fujas are deffinitly better in pow, but i love my revivals on groomers and they can handle a pretty good amount of pow, they are so sick in the park too if your into that hope this helped message me if you need any more advice

thanks. the advice was good. I know that both are good in powder and in park too, but the problem for me is groomers,- anyway both of them are twin tips and none of them are made for carving but i look for better. by the way, have you ever skied with Kung Fujas?, to compare. I thought that all-terrain rocker would be better on groomers despite big waist. I even though like revivals more. so, if you are the owner can you give me some more information. e.g(where and how you ski?, your expert or not? and so on.)
thank you in advane

Info:
I am about 6 foot 5 inches (195 cm) and 250 pounds(113 kg)
I ski the 189 kungfujas and they hold agood edge on ice and groomers. they are too soft for my liking but it didn't effect their carving greatly.

Get the kung fujas. If the 100 or so under foot is your concern......it shouldn't be (it's a great size, not too skinny and not too fat). They will do great all over the mountain, and you'll be much happier when it snows.

I ski park with Kung Fujas and they are great, that extra width helps you stomp,and it also helps you off piste, and all mountain in general. They are great skis all the way around and i love them.
For bindings don't get the Jester, or Griffion schizo frantics unless you really plan on moving your bindings around. They are a lot heavier then necessary, so just get the flat Jesters, or Griffions. Both great bindings, i have the Griffions on mine and love them.. Lets go when you need them to and keeps you in when they are supposed to.

The dealer sells with the Griffon Schizo frantics, and It's included in price. They also don't have Marker Bindings to sell except The squires, and If I order Griffon's they will be too expensive and I may have to wait for the next session. I mean that getting shizos's is difficult for me now, and I wonder if Griffon schizo frantics are too bad for me in that situation. to tell the truth I am not going to start moving my bindings while skiing. the option is maybe for pep fujas but not for me. What do you think, are Griffon Schizo frantic's very bad for what I want?, and Do Griffon's worth for the torment? thanks.

Sth16's would be a nice point, but unfortunately salomon Twin-tips and bindings aren't available, but in case of ordering It costs much more and I doesn't worth to me in this moment. anyway thanks.
