im looking for a ski that i can use for backcountry powder and trees but can also ski in the park and do rails, i live in canada so i do alot of big mountain skiing so im wondering which ski would be the best, im about 5,6 but growing fast, and 140 pounds, also if you know any other skis that would be good for me that would be nice

Insane

i would definitely say go for either the blends or the fujas because i tried the guns out and they're just straight up not as solid of a ski all around as either the other two. the fujas sounds like a perfect ski for what you want though becuase it isn't quite as wide as the blends and performs super well everywhere.

No Life

the guns are really fun. they're really light and the flex is medium to soft and feels really crisp, if that makes any sense. the blends don't feel as light, and have a stiffer flex. i really like how the ski feels compared to the gun. much more damp. if you ride bikes at all if feels comparable to how a steel frame is much more smooth than an alumium frame, but not quite as light and quick feeling. i haven't skied the fujas, but from checking the dimensions and looking at pictures, i'd imagine they'd be more like the blend with a narrower waist and a softer flex. so probably more playful feeling with not quite as much support for charging.
keep in mind, my review of the fujas is purely speculation, as i have not acutally ridden them. the other two, however, i can tell you are as described.
