just curious I guess. Realized that my thinnest ski is 95 in the waist. A few years ago that would have been the fattest by far. it would be interesting to graphically see how much this has changed over the past couple of years.

a few years ago 90mm was really fat, now that is nothing.

The average base width of my quiver is now 108.2mm.
That is fucking ridiculous.

Here you go Iggy:

Mantra - 95
Vicious - 98
Made'n - 108
Prophet - 130

My average underfoot width is: 107.75

You barely beat me!

aren't the mantra 94??

yeah, i thought about it and couldn't believe how wide they all are.

the prophets are fat, but the combo of spatulas and FFF crush them....=)

I guess I'll post my quiver and waists as well:
190 Igneous FFF: 118
189 Seth Vicious: 98
186 Spatula: 125
183 Gotama: 105
179 Seth Pistol: 95

I guess this doesn't include the other skis I still having hanging around waiting to sell, so people should buy my skis!!

funny. I believe all the ski shops are reporting them at 94.....at least the ones I've looked at. Not that 1mm makes a difference

I don't have a digital camera so no Spatula pics. But they look like every other spatula out there....

I have a feeling that you win, unless someones only ski is a prophet 130 or something. I highly doubt anyone will beat that, though.

what skis does the include: Prophet 130, elizebeth, etc??

What does that include Josh?? I assume 130s and Lizzys, but what else are you riding that is smaller...the new Moships I am guessing.

wow, fucking sick.

I was deciding between the 189 SV and 191 ANTs, but SV was cheaper so went with that instead.

The ANT is a ski I want to try out sometime though.

how do you find the mean? add them all up and divide them by the number of skis, right?

Made'N AK-108mm
Fujative-85mm
Trouble Maker-78mm

108 + 85 + 78 = 271

271 divided by 3 = 70.2??

because I like poop.

271 divided by 3 = 70.2 haha.. an honest mistake.

my average base width isn't wide enough, because my quiver conisits of one ski at the moment.

Which works great for what the east has to offer. Even tho i had Colorado mountain pass last year, i couldn't afford a pair of pow sticks. For the 20 days i had out there last year.

Atomic Tweak = 78
Line 1260 = 76
Head Super Cross Ti = 72
Rossi Mountain Viper = 64

Average Base Width = 72.5

I rarely ski the Vipers anymore but I probably have the smallest base width, lol. What can I say, I haven't bought my pow ski yet.

Let's take a look... probably not anywhere in your leagues thanks to my rock skis and their skinny-ness.

180 Ar5 = 80mm
189 Seth = 95mm
191 JPvJ = 103mm
181 MT = 74mm
(x2) = 74mm

Altogether that's an average of 85.2, which is probably realistic I spose.

Mine are 03/04, I believe they're 80 mm, newer ones are slightly wider but I could be wrong. I should measure because my "191" Jp vs. Juliens are in fact 188cm long... Glad they fixed that sizing discrepancy this year, hahaha.

the length of skis varies soooo much.

My 179 Seth Pistols are longer than my 179 fujative.

My 179 Seth Pistols aren't 7cm smaller than the 186 Spatula...maybe 3 or 4.

My 190 Igneous FFF is about the same length as the 188 AK enemy.

I haven't got my in the mail yet, but I bet the 189 Seth Vicious will be longer than my 190 Igneous FFF.

Did you find your JPs felt a little shorter than expected, even when you remounted them back a bit? I do. It's odd, my Pistols feel plenty long.
