Hello newschoolers. I've been going to school in LA and as a result have skied very little for the last couple of years. Need some new sticks but since I haven't looked at new gear recently I'm not too sure whats out there. I currently ride Fischer Addicts w/ Marker Free 12 bindings mounted dead center. I really like these skis but I want something fatter and with some rocker. I'll be skiing at Mammoth 90% of the time, don't do much park anymore but I do like backcountry jibbing occasionally. I'm 5'10, 165lbs for reference. Suggest me some skis with a brief explanation. +k

K2 Kung Fujas. More all-around than the Obsethed, still fat enough to hand almost any conditions.

I love mine but they're the 09/10 model and a little more all mountain oriented than the new ones.
