I bought the Karma's on impulse off ebay, all i heard was that they were a supreme all mountain ski as far as twins go. and now that im looking over everything i see they have an 87 mm waist, i ride little to no powder... was this all a bad idea for me?

no man , 87 waist isnt too wide for the park.

I have never skied the skis though, but I can imagine you will like them.

^unless you buy ones that are broken in half, then they would be bad for the park.

Karma's can be a bad idea... if you're either only a novice or intermediate skier they're going to need to be skied too far outside your ability level to make them "work" for you.

Or if you get em too big... I'm 167 pounds and am riding on 177's.... if I had to purchase again I'd get 169's. My previous skis were 181 Atomic GS:11's, and the Karmas even in a 177 are a bit much to manage for me... too much super stiff tail.

Get em in the right size, and make sure you're a proficient enough skier for 'em and I can't think of anything more fun to bomb the mountain on.

i ride foils, 87 waist. siiick sick in park. great for the times you want to explore the mountain. i like having a versatile ski that i know can 'do-it-all' if needs be.
