Looking at purchasing some 2011 K2 Kung Fujas 179's after demoing them SIGNIFICANTLY over the past 2-3 weeks and loving them. However, these are the skis that I have been riding...

K2 is unfortunately sold out of the Fujas so if I want some 2011's I'll have to find them online or used. I was looking at an ad for 179's and noticed this picture...

Now the bottom coat on the 2nd pair is black, not white like the ones I have been riding that are for sure legit. Is there anything I should be concerned with?

k2 uses diff bases specific to measurement for some of its models.

or the k2's you've been demoing are specific directly from k2 for that purpose. I would think reps get skis ready for demo and release them for spring and the upcoming year with small differences.

169= Black Base (not 100% sure)

179= White Base (100% sure)

189= Brown Base (100% sure)

THANK YOU! That's what I assumed, different color bases for different lengths....I think they may be misrepresented and the seller is mistaken on the size.

LOVE THE FUJAS!

I'm not sure how they perform on rails - I ride big mountain, powder, frontside, and groomers - don't spend any time in the park. They are a fantastic performing ski EVERYWHERE for me, but not sure how they would do in the park. I imagine being Pep Fujas pro model, they'll probably suit you fine.
