That's retarded. It's getting to the point where to stand on a pair of skis you're already doing a spread eagle...

and yeah, that ski is ridiculous.

I think that part of the appeal of powder is that you aren't totally on the surface of it all the time. You know?

Yes.

What they are saying is they simply took their thinnest monoskis and rebranded them as a fat ski. Since they kept the exact sidecuts, this can't work properly.

Furthermore they say the skis weight 4.5 kg EACH, which is just ridiculous.

I bet they sink like a titanic.

erroneous.  erroneous on both accounts.

they're 4.5 kg "Poids (pour la paire)"  what do you think "la paire" means


the sumos have a 24.5 radius, big troubs have a 20, maidens 27, seths and bc 21.

a 28 radius might even be a bit low.

or you could sack up and buy a monoski for $630.    these are pretty retarded, but i bet theyre at least decently fun.

heres a fun question:  you think you could land sideways on them mad easy like a snowboard?
