^karmas are easily the best ski out this year....for everything basically. if they arent too much different in price (which they definately should be), id say get the karmas hands down.

if you ride as much park as you say and like butters and shit, get the fujis. the karmas are stiff as hell which makes them rock for all mtn but not so hot for park stuff. i prefer the karmas for all around and the fuj for park

here was my prob... i was trying to decide between PEs and Fujas... and i went with PEs cause i liked them better for all mtn riding. i used them in the park as well, and i think they work good for that, but i realized i was losing all mtn control when the edges started to round off from rails... so i got a job and got the fujas too. so thats my opinion. get a job, get both. use one (karma) for most days like when the snow is good or you want to rip a good pow line, and use ur fujas for the days when the snow sucks or you feel like messin around in the park.

Karmas are by far the better ski. The only thing is they are stiff. This may cause problems for you in the park if you don't weigh enough. Consider another park ski like stl's for only park stuff.

and i love my fujas, i have a great time with them... but my PEs are still my main ski and id rather ski the whole mtn than just ski park all day every day... so karmas are good and fujatives might be cheap enough at the end of the season that you can pick them up for a great price... keep that in mind...

Since you like park and butters et.al. I would suggest the Fujatives - they're designed for that. A more appropriate comparison to the Karma (fantastic all-mountain board BTW) would have been the PE's, but they're not being considered, right?

the karmas are not THAT stiff, i think thats pretty overblown. ride a pair of explosivs and they start to feel like noodles.
i still think im gonna pick up a pair
i ski for Head

^Agreed about the Explosivs. But compared to most fatter twins that newschoolers would consider, the Karma's pretty burly.

They are two totally different skis. You cant even compare the two. You must be a complete dumbass.

they arent that different, ones just made for really strong skiers and the other is made for really weak skiers or girls. if you like to charge all the time get the karmas. if your a weak skier or a parkrat get the fujatives

k you guys are definitley not going to believ this, but i have both the karmas and fujatives, i will take a picture of me with them tommroow and put it up. 179 fuja 185 karmas. For what you do it seems like you should get the fujatives more of a park ski. The karmas are stiffer and a better big mountain skis. they rip they go really fast through shit.

i just dont understand why, if you had a park-specfic ski like the fujative, you would get a compromise ski like the karma. why not get a real big mountain board?
i ski for Head

cuz im not that big. i like that size of ski, i just got them both, so i would have a soft ski and a stiffer ski for rippin in the big mountain. I thought that no one would belive it cuz what are the chances someone says whats better the fujative or karma, and i happen to have both.
