Surely you know what ski's suit the conditions your gonna be riding, I've got 6 snowboards but I know which is the best for powder, piste or park. Just pick whichever you use for park and whichever are best for powder.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ditch the Fujas. The Opus's should be fine offpiste (and much better in pow) unless it's really hard/re-frozen type snow, in which case the Fujas's are too soft to be much better anyway.

If you want to guarantee really good pow buy and take an expensive pair of slalom skis.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thats an expensive guarantee!
I would ditch the opus's and keep the kung fujas. Although if the opus's were longer I would probably take them..

the fujas are 169's but are actually about 175's. the opus's are 185's. i normally use the k2 for jibbing and general d**king around at the side of the piste. then i take the opus's out on guaranteed pow days. then the cronics are my dedicated park ski.
to be honest im leaning towards taking the fujas coz they will cope in the park and the opus coz they work pretty well in all off piste situations.

IMHO You need one piste orientated ski and one that will do you in the park and off piste. This assumes your going to ski as much as possible on and off piste.....

From the above comments, I think the answer is clear!
YOU NEED NEW SKIS!
