Yes another one of these threads.. I have narrowed my future purchase down to a couple of skis based on my style of skiing. I like to do 50% all mountain/powder skiing and 50% park skiing, i like myself a flexible ski for butters and landing back/front seat. Rails, man made jumps, and cliffs i like them all. At the same time i want the skis to be able to rip in the powder if there is any.

Which ski would you pick out of the following

2011 k2 kung fujas
2012 line blend
2011 4frnt VCT turbo
2011 rossignol S5

or suggest me a ski around those price ranges and specs

thanks +k.

I know a guy that rides kung fujas, seems pretty happy with them; can't really comment as I haven't ridden any of them. I would also look at the ON3P Jeronimo, if your looking for durable,quality sticks from a quality brand they might be for you. This year the J'mo is a 96 waist next year they step up to 101 underfoot. The ON3P Jefferey might be another good bet although it may be a bit fatter than what you're looking for, currently 108 underfoot next year they are stepping up to 110.

I owned '11 Fujas and sold them after about 2 days.  Too soft for anywhere I wanted to ski.  Bought Turbos this year and it's become my go-to ski.  They don't leave my truck.  On pow days I throw my Booms in as well, but usually in the afternoons I go back to the Turbo.


I'm 5'11" 195lbs, and I don't ski park.  I ride the 189 with Dukes mounted -1cm.
