K2 Fujatives... okay for NC snow?

I just got a pair of 179 K2 Fujatives. Are these boards okay for cruising and some park riding out here?
I am leery of the flex.
Any opinions?
Thanks!

Not at all - the friction coefficient of NC snow is 3.14x that of snow in VT and 6.28x that of west coast snow - the ptex base on those skis will dichromatically departiculate the ice crystals into a hyperosmatic state - whch will leave you unhappy - in fact no skis work on NC snow, to be safe you should stick to rollerskating and freestyle walking

lmao!
this notion of rollerskating is not unheard of. The reliance upon slope angles greater than 60 degrees would in fact relate well to acceleration and momentum, thereby increasing speed in which to intiate a "turn". Which of course is contrary to the idea of NC having slopes greater than 60 degrees....
But hey! The temps have been around 60 degrees all year. Maybe these will work just fine.
Thanks you jokers!
Re: Deviants... what is the flex versus the Fujas? If they are any softer, then the answer is obviously no. But, if they are indeed stiffer, then I may just be into that!

Deviants are a little stiffer. The Fujatives are only really soft in the tips and tails.

fujatives will be fine. atlantaski has old 04/05 fujatives and he loves them everywhere. Pretty much NC is only ood for park, so fujatives will be fine(and I think they do fine all mountain too). I have invaders and they work great.

Haha thats awesome!
Fujis have shit bases anyway and have no edge hold over 10 mph. But on the other hand they are cheeeeeeeep and buttery for pratting around on.
