Fatties in the midwest

So I’ve been thinking of adding another pair of skis to the quiver lately, but the only thing I don’t have is a pair of fatties. I know I don’t need these, but there are so many companies making 100 plus mm waist skis now that make me drool. Anyone out there rock the fatties on the Midwest hardpack? How you like them? I also found this and can’t think of a reason why I shouldn’t have it. Maybe I’m a sucker for marketing.

huh, i would think that they would be better on rails because they are wider. i have been thinking of it too, mostly because of seeing andy mahre with maidens in the park
