you must be skiing some serious powder. maden AK's are pretty wide, but not 130. mojo 105's are wide too, but again, not a 130.

Atomic Thug. 120mm waist. Sir Francis Bacon ~115mm waist, 9thward Rory Pro ~115mm waist.
I think after that you have to go Kingswood, Capital, Igneous or maybe Prior.

i'd say just go with the sumo. There's also the G-funkenstein, by Capital skis, which is pretty damn phat.

why dont you just get the 130's? if you cant for some reason, Sumos or some Capitals, the funkenstein might be wierd, dunno, but the make a funkenstein light, and a swallowtail with a 120 somethin wasit. check out capital strongly.

the fat-y-pus a-lotta's have gotten bad reviews, how a 170mm tipped ski can tip dive is beyond me, but they do. G-funkenstein is not a normal shape.
Sumos are supposedly availble in a longer size this year, awesome. Eric's pro model for 4frnt is pretty wide, zero camber (which i think is sweet) and traditional side cut. Might think about the dp 138s and 120's reverse camber but still have side cut, really innovative skis.

Check out evogear.com and their eBay store, I saw Prophet 130 (05/06) going for 350-400 USD new. Just get those that is an awesome deal. The customs (Capital, Iggy, Kingswood, DP etc) is going to cost you 600-1000 US.

Kingswood MegaFats are 140ish underfoot, Next years Big Dadies will be 125, and then there is the Sumo. Not sure if the El Jefe is Capital's go any bigger than 115 in a regular cut, but you could also get some old Powder Plus's for cheap they are 115. Pretty much any cutsom ski makes biiger tha 115. Iggy has the FF's (118), Kingswood with the Fat's and Mega Fats, and while I'm not sure about Amphlid, I'm prettty sure Moment has something up your ally if you can find out where to buy them (the Commie if I'm not mistaken is 130ish_
