alright guys, who here lives on the east coast and rocks fat skis? i'm thinking of getting some for next year, but i've got no idea how they preform on hardpack/groomers/park. if you have anything, let me know the ski, ski length, your height and weight, what they suck in, what they're good in, and how they flex. thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.

So you have 8 potential pow days a year(which your most likely not going to get) yet you say 20 pow days at jay is unjustifiable for fatties? you just contradicted yourself. way to be.

alright now that i've figured out what ski i'm gonna get, anyone who rides SV's let me know what size you ride, your height and weight, where you have them mounted, what bindings, and of course, do you like them?

thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.
