Looking at picking up a pair as an all mountain/park ski. Anyone have any experience with them?

greatest skis ever. nice and soft for the pow but stiff under foot so i can take them in the park. just know that they are an all mountain ski, so they wont be as good as a park ski in the park, and they arent as good as a pow ski in the pow

Bacons>Fujas
Both are awesome skis, but Bacons hold up A LOT better on Groomers. They are my main ski in Michigan

Kills the whole mountain!!!! From grooms to pow they are perfect. If you want to train for next years slope style park event meh, wouldn't recommend them for that purpose. But if you want to cruse the park and trow down some 360 and flips, its defiantly doable. I have my 2011 kung fujas as the ski where I'm not quite sure how the snow is out on the mountain, like if there is any pow or not. if there isn't, then i always still have a really good time.

get them.

Can you give me any insight as to what the flex and weight is like? Ive heard they are quite heavy to throw around in the park?

Flex is pretty soft with the rocker and all, but you can still bomb groomers with them like no tmrw. The weight comes in at around 6.74 lbs.

Awesome one ski quiver for a playful skier who doesnt mind a soft buttery tip and tail. The stiffness underfoot makes them handle really well all over the mountain though.

Colorado FreeSkier has a good deal on them right now. Check it out

thanks for all the replies, +K to everyone.
just one last question though, I have a pair of fks180 that I'm wanting to put on them, will a 115mm brake be too wide for a 102mm waist with a 6mm overhang on each side?

Nah they'll be fine... if anything just give them a little tweak inwards. Personally I would probably get the 90mm brake and bend it out to fit but that's just me.
