Hey guys im lookin to buy some new skis and am having trouble pickin out which ones to buy. I live on the east coast and am about 6'2" 185lbs. Im currently looking at the revivals in 179 and fujas in 189. I ski alot of park but have bad knees so dont go too crazy. I also ski alot in the trees and stuff when we have powder and make the occasional trip out west once or twice a year where i would demo powder skis anyway for the most part. I was pretty sure on the 179 revivals as a great east coast all mtn park ski. but I am hearing good things about the fujas as a great fun all mountain park ski too, just not sure about the east coast for them and them in the park as a everyday ski. Anyone with any help or relevant information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
i ski the fujas as my everyday ski and i live on the east coast. i take them through the park and the rest of the mountain and they work just fine. also, you could definitely handle the 189's, i definitely recommend them.
 
I love my kung fujas for similar stuff that you do. the 189s will be taller than you and might be to long unless you really like a taller ski. For info I am almost 6 foot 5 inches, 260 lbs and they feel like a great length for me.
 
if you want a ski that rides well everywhere don't go k2. Lots better stuff out there for all mountain park ski
 
I feel ya, i was lookign at K2 cause my local shop has alot of them n can give me a discount. They also have volks and I was considering the bridge too. Not sure tho, what would you suggest?
 
disagree. i use disorderlys as my only ski and am just fine on groomers and in park. if you can ski then you can take anything anywhere, they're just skis, they all slide on snow.

that said, everyone loves kung fujas'.
 
you can ski k2s but there are a lot better out there...
If your shop has volkls go with them because those will ride hard. I have rode both companies lines and volkl is a much more stable ski thats why they get sick ratings every year
 
I disagree. Over the past 10ish years I've been through around 8 or so pairs of skis and have demoed about 40 and I've always been most impressed with K2's park skis for all mountain. Volkl's lines aren't bad but I'd take K2 any day. And to OP, unless you think you need the extra width, the Revivals are a sick ski. I currently live in Colorado and ski those most days, even outside park. Pow days are a different story though.
 
I am guessing you have not ridden very many K2 skis... Or know what you are talking about.
K2 makes great, durable skis.
