So I just bought a pair of volkl ledges a couple months ago for the park (not sure how good of a choice it was since Ive only used them for a few runs) but Im looking for something a little fatter for powder days and trees that can also handle the park faily decent. Ive been looking around at the Kung Fujas, 4FRNT MSP, Armada ARV and the Line Blend as well as the Sir Francis Bacon but Im having a hard time deciding what to get. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on ski choices. I will probably set my cap at $450-$500. Any other suggestions are welcomed. +k

Bacons are a good choice and were cheap on evo last time I checked, other skis worth considering are JJ's, Bibby's and seths, aswell as your other choices, yet they could be harder to find in that price range, good luck.

Yeah I looked at the JJ's, Bibbys and seths and the JJ's and Bibbys were out of my price range. Although my aunt is friends with a k2 rep so Im working on her to help me out so if I can score a deal on some seths or fujas I would be stoked

I think the Fujas is killer ski but it doesn't feel like a powder ski.  It's pretty quick for it's width and skis around pretty well, i see it as more of a all-mtn freestyle ski just like the Blend but I've always liked the Kung Fujas a bit more.  As for the Seth it skis really directional and has huge rocker, defiantly a pow ski.  only issue I have experienced with it is a little high speed chatter because it has so much tip rocker so I would say size it up and if you want it to have a freestyle feel make sure you mount up near center.
