Which Ski is more durable, lighter and has higher performance in the Park/jibbing/pipe. For the Fujatives would i be worth paying the extra bucks for the 06's?? Or are the 1080's a better ski for the durability, lightweight, 04's or 05's?

Definitely not 1080s. Also, if you want Fujas, save yourself the $ and just get the 04/05's...virtually the same ski as the 05/06.

Where do you ski? What type of skiing? How big are you???

Or, just use the cute little search bar and you'll find a plethora of info.

I'm jealous. Shit man, if you ski the Butte and Telly, get something fatter and go shred the pow!

Consider the following: 179 Pistol (if you can find them, this would be ideal for you), 179 Vicious (also good, but the Pistols are softer for you as you are light, but if you used to race, you're probably fine with stiffer sticks anyway), 179 Made'n, 177 Karma, 183 Gotama, 175 ARV, etc etc etc

Lots of great choices better than 1080s and Fujas.

If only i had the money. My dad actually bought me a pair of salomon screams the limited last year, i didnt know what to expect but those skis floated the powder well, i think we got a good deal on those. But right now im just looking at a twin tip park ski. Just because skiing park with race skis or screams doesnt seem to fit.

yeah i reckon elizabeth would be good as its a sick park ski but has the width for powder.But the only problem is there about $750(at proctor but thats with salomon s912's). I have fujas and there sick as hell in park and good in powder too. but if u live somewhere that gets heaps of snow definately get something fatter. I'd reccommend something fat and soft like made'N AK or Pistol

if your only skiing park get the fujative. this years salomons (no more 1080s) are much better and more durable than last years. you can the Salomon Thruster for a pretty good price or the Salomon Foil for 450. either way. buy whatever

going by your height and weight 169 fujas would be ideal for park. If i was you i would buy vincepru's fujas and then get a pistol or something for like $400
