2 years ago, i bougt a pair of K2 kung fujas. After 2 seasons of skiing, i've found myself enjoying taking deep long carves in the powder, rather then freestyling. Does twintip affect float and carve abilities in pow? And wich ski do you recommend?

If you are looking at an all mountain ski, twin tip/tail rocker can sometimes make or brake powder performance. However if your looking for a powder ski, than the total surface area can usually negate the lack of a tail rocker. If you want a directional ski for powder, Id get something over 110mm underfoot. If you want an all mountain ski that floats well for its size, than tail rocker is usually the way to go.
