Ok Im looking to buy one of the two but I am on the fence on which one.

Any ideas and why... Whats the major difference on the two?

Looking for the difference on the ski ability of the two.

Look forward on hearing anything you guys have to say.

gear talk. they're very different skis. the Kung Fujas was developed to be a wider park-style ski for pow jibbing, buttering, and jumping. the Influence is more all mountain oriented, including front side groomers and crud. It's way less freestyle oriented and more freeride-y... it just happens to have a turned up tail. It's what you'd probably put your dad on if he wanted a pow ski.

If you're looking for any sort of performance in the park avoid the influence. I have the kung fujas and they are a great all mountain ski. The influences are very heavy and are not a fun ski.

Fujas is super noodley even more so then the last few years models. So if ya wanna ski to play around on that the one. Idk about the influence. But is venture to say the blend is more similar to the Fujas

Definitely take a look at the Blend. Those two are more comparable than the Influence.

The influence will be much more directional. Where do u ski? If you get a lot of snow go with the kungs
