I am going to be buying some new skis next year, and I am not sure which ones to buy. So I need some help. I ride park, but not all the time, I ether go in the park or I do powder. so I need a pair of skis that are light enough to easily swing on rails and are eaisy to butter and Ollie. But I also need them to be fat enough to go through powder and land on "pillows" without just sinking right threw.

I ride the K2 Kung Fujas which are suppose to be 50% pow 50% park. They ride very well as an all mountain and powder, and i do take them in the park. I guess a considerable difference with the weight but i can do rails fine just not a lot of spinning. The hold up very well on park jumps though and at the same time are forgiving.
Good luck finding one!

Hope you find the right skis dude! I had the same problem as you at the beginning of this year but luckily my friend had a pair of pow skis for $50 so I took those then just bought some AR7's.

I highly recomend the Line Chronic's, which is what im riding now. Perfect for what youre looking for. I got the Cryptonite model, which is wider underfoot than the regular model I believe..I love em!

I have last years Chronics and I fricken love them. Mounted 2 cm back from true center and they are a blast on groomers and in the park. I haven't been in super deep powder but they do seem to float well in the powder I have been in.

SIA, check out websites and read up on their specs, listen to the horror stories online. Do your research first, then people will guide you.

Chronics are wide enough for a little powder but mostly for park and suspects are good all mountain for being park skis. durablilty issue with the suspects so I'd suggest chronics if u do rails a lot.

Moment pb&j all the way. They're 100 underfoot and lighter than k2recoils if that's not enough incentive. Basically a great pow ski with the same capabilities of a great park ski.

And filthy riches are also great if you wanna go narrower. Also, I wouldn't go with line chronically because I've found among friends that bought them that they arnt durable. Granted a lot of the kids I know who have them huck
