So im planning on skiing on more pow next season, but wanna work on skiing switch and hitting kickers too. Would these be too stiff or bulky to work on butters and park jumps with? Also, I plan on skiing switch quite a bit, so would a center mount work on these? I am 6' and 180lbs. I plan on the 178cm. My other main option is the 09 K2 Kung Fujas with a 95mm waist. Which would be more suitable? Thanks for any input!

The Fujas have a flex more suited to butters and pow, but still throw down in the park or where ever. Switch is no problem on them, but I would mount at about +5, to make pow less of a chore. If you got the Blends, which are good at all this with a slightly stiffer flex profile, I would say step up to the 183, it'll give you better performance. The 179 in the Fujas is good enough though, because K2 measures shorter than other brands.
