Searching For A Good All Mountain Ski? The Kung Fujas May Be What You Are Looking For.
Finding an all-mountain ski can be somewhat of a task. With new innovations in ski technology and the trend to create specialty products, even professionals can have a difficult time finding "the right" ski. Pep Fujas, part of the Factory Team at K2, is considered by many to be one of the most innovative skiers in the industry. Pep decided to design his own all-mountain ski, the Kung Fujas. And it could possibly be the ski you have been searching for.
This ski is designated for men with intermediate to advanced skills. It comes in 169, 179 and 189 cm lengths for most body types. The 102 mm waist is more versatile than other models and will handle diverse terrain and snow conditions. For the more adventurous, holes in the tip and tail allow adding pre-cut K2 skins. An All-Terrain Rocker offers easy initialization, versatility and agility in all snow conditions.
The All-Terrain Rocker, found on many of K2's models of skis and snowboards, is designed for use throughout the mountain. It allows for effortless turns on hardpack but also provides ample float in softer snow and crud. When un-weighted there is 70% camber and 30% rocker. When weighted there is 30% rocker and 70% contact with the snow.
This model is moderately flexible which helps in its all-terrain design. They are at home in the trees and bumps. The 19m (on the 179's) turn radius makes them attractive to a lengthier radius turn. Good edge to edge without any lag. On moguls, take each one in due to the combination of a soft tip and the rockered tip.
In powder this ski handles exceptionally well due in part to the powder-specific tip design and the all-terrain rocker. The widest point of the tip is 7cm back from the standard contact point. This design adds stability and predictability and is less likely to hook or grab in light crusts or variable conditions.
As with any all-mountain ski there are a few traits that a specialized ski will handle better. At high speeds on the groomers this model may be a bit too soft and playful. They may be a bit too long if you need a ski more strictly for the park. Nevertheless, looking at the Kung Fujas as a one-ski quiver these are pretty minor concerns. If your thing is normally groomers or the park look for a more specialized model for the required speed and stability.
If you're looking for an all-mountain, all-terrain ski that you can truly use to enjoy exploring all over the hill and it is adaptable for most circumstances, the K2 Kung Fujas is a ski that you may want to look at. If you have never skied with as much rocker at these have they may feel different at first. But with a little time on them you will come to appreciate all these skis have to offer.
