The rocker on these skis isn't that substantial. With only a 5/30, I don't see these being terribly squirley on all but the iciest of groomers. They are very similiar to the 07/08 rockered Seth, and that had great groomer railing potential... once you are up on edge the ski is decambered anyway, and the rocker is taken out of the equation...

1. Yes, camber underfoot. Rocker on tips and tails only.
2. No, we are not offering the pre-drilled. More options this way.
3. Yes, these are way nice for buttering. Mellow flex and rocker'd tips/tails beg for it.
4. Fresh edges, wood cores, sidewalls...you'll carve 'em.
5. Not sure if rocker helps/hurts landings. Skills and de-tuned edges will.
6. Sturdy cores and mellow rocker mean stable and nimble.
7. Not a bad word heard about Schizo binders. They're solid.

Write your answer here...AS good as the skier. Quick response w/ stability.

I would say this depends on whether you like your skis on the long side or not. K2's generally tend to run a few cm long so whichever size you choose the ski will actually be a few centimeters longer, for example, the 169's are probably more like 171-173. Hope this helps.

Well, actually I've bought the Obsethed now. I'd still like a park ski that'll cut it on pow. Since I've already got a >100 ski I'm now certain that I want a <100 ski. I've sorta made up my mind on the Fujas, but I'd like to know wich lenght I should go for...

(I got the Obsethed in 189. Wont regret it, itll be my playful charger)

personally I would recommend taking a look at the Armada JJ or Atomic Bentchetler, they come in chargable lenghts that are still light, and the atomic is super poppy and you can play around on the mountain tons, plus both are actually pretty damn good on the groomers... just my two cents.

We offer the flat versions of this ski. Specifically so that you can put whatever binders you want on them. You'll have no trouble with mounting them. I'd suggest demo-ing a ski with a rockered tail and tele binders before you buy though. The shorter contact area behind your heels may enhance the 'wash-out' feel that you sometimes get with this style ski.

I'd say go 189, you're a pretty big guy. I'm 5'7", 160 soaking wet and I'm on 175 ARVs and will be getting a pair of 181's. There's nothing worse than buying a new pair of skis, only to find them to be too short!

True, K2's run a little long, but the fujas are rockered, which will make them ski a little shorter. I say go with the 179, especially if you're gonna mount these toward core center. And btw, I'm also 5'8 and I got these in 179 and they're only about 2" taller than me barefoot.

The size for you would really be a tough call, because k2's run pretty long. The 169's would probably run about as tall as you, or a little shorter. The 179's would be above your head a good amount. I found from experience that k2's generally run around 3-4cm longer than printed. I think you'd be happy with both sizes, but I think the 169 will be enough ski for you. The 179 might just bog you down.

Yes, the Kung Fujas are meant to be a Backcountry jibber ski, so they have a little more flex than your average big mountain ripper. They aren't noodles, however, and can definitely handle big lines...
