Replying to What skis?

AK-Pow29:
I ride the K2 Kung Fujas and want a pow ski for that I would only use on pow days. I'm 6'4'' and 155 pounds(yes I know I need to eat some burgers, and some fries, and some bacon...). So I'm trying to decide between the K2 Pettitor and the K2 Hellbent. Does anyone know how the Kung Fujas flex compares to the Hellbent flex, aren't they both pretty similar? I'm leaning toward the Pettitor because since I'm sking in AK I think it will be more confident and do better on steep lines and sometimes even on deep pow days snowboarders will make the chutes icy in places and I don't know if the Hellbent will grip good. The Hellbent seems super fun and the best for untracked pow, but I just don't know how it would be in tracked pow, crud, steeps, and I know it's heavy so the Pettitor prolly has a much better swing weight. For the Pettitor, I'm worried it might be too stiff, cuz I like soft skis, and maybe not enough float. IDK though. Thanks for the help in advance and k+. Also we get wet heavy snow a lot more than light pow.
