haha, i'm gonna be the first person in Wisconsin with spatulas, since we have all these big mountain lines around here and all. 400 feet or pure powder action.

Depends on what your definition of 'fat' is....My definition is probably anything over 95 waist ie. Nordica W105 or Spatula. It's just not that uncommon to see a 85 waisted ski..

To answer your question, yes...most 'fat' skis rip. REX, G4, Pocket Rocket, Little Big Fat, Seth Pistol, Intuitiv BIG, K2 AK Launcher.....even the Line Motherships---i've ridden em' all and they all rip.

WIfreerider- where do you ski?? I really don't think it's that bad to have a fatty in WI depending on where you ride or where you travel to ride...know of LOTS of boys from Wisconsin that ride where I do that ski fatties (100+ waist INCLUDING the spatual). Granted they're not breaking out the fatties IN wisconsin, but that's not to say they don't own a pair...

I'd say 90mm is fat.
and why use a fat ski on corduroy? it was made to be ridden in the pow. a slimmer ski 70-85mm would be much better.

I don't think that an 86mm waist is fat anymore. I would call it mid-fat (since there are skis with waists of 95+). Of course, some reviews still call 75mm waists 'mid-fat.' The only truly skinny skis these days are the GS ones, but they need it.

85-90 + is fat.

The skis have changed so much in the last 2 years it is constantly changing what is fat.

it used to be 80+
now its 85-90 + for fat

75-80 is mid fat

You can carve up a storm, and then hit the pow.

Very sick ski.

I would say that if you think 95 (or whatever they are) is fat......then yes, they're fatties.
