Hey guys, I am looking at getting some new skis at the end of this season and was turning towards the Kung Fujas. I ski mainly park/groomers at the moment, but planning on going out west for university next year and want to be prepared for that terrain. I was wondering how these bad boys hold up on rails/boxes aswell as jumps. Would the domains be a better option?

If it helps im 6ft 1, 190 pounds.

Thanks,
Alf_alfa

They will do fine in the park. I've got a friend who only rides them, and he loves them

Ive had mine for a season and although they aren't a true park ski due to them being wider and slightly heavier they are still a ton of fun. They also tear rip up out of the park aswell. Definitely recomend them.

i dont usually like directional skis for park but i took my friends through for a couple laps and was pretty impressed. granted it is a little heavy, and imo to wide underfoot for park. maybe check out the revivals. they're directional, but have the jib rocker as opposed to the all-mountain rocker just in the front.

So the fujas on boxes/rails wont kill me? and has anyone ridden the revivals? Also, how are the domains? Im not strictly limited to K2, so if their are any other skis that people would recomend for the entire mountain, dont hesitate.

having a fat ski on rails is a little weird at first, but it grows on you. I'd be happy if I was never on a ski under 110mm again. go for it.

the 10/11 fujas are more of a all mountain/powder ski thats why they have the skins holes, i think you would be better with the revivals for what you want, ive got the domains and they are great! so much fun on gromers too but i bought them for park only really, then i have this years fujas for an all mountain/powder (i won them!) not used them yet tho, i could of had them or the bacons but i do most of my skiing in europe and would never be off peist/pow all day so i went with the fujas

Collin Collins used last years KungFujas in his part in ComeFindUs, most of which, if not all, was urban.

the Fujas would be a somewhat decent park ski. you can ski any ski in the park basically but not all skis will react the same.

True but this years Kung fujas is nothing like last years, the revival is more like last years fujas. The 10/11 fujas is more like the 09/10 obSethed not many people would have bought that for park?
