oh ya and one advantage is that if you make park skis and they work, you know they can take a beating..

as far as dimensions go... i can't stand a skinny ski.  i'd say 83-84 underfoot would be the narrowest i would built a ski.  there's just so much more stability at a certain point.  just my 2 cents.  the 85-95 mm range would be where i would first press a ski.

skinnier skis can be stable to as long as there is not a lot of side cut.. down hill skis are usually somewhat skinny. Our next project, the cub will be alot fatter

It looks like the Benjamins are going to have massive sidecut!!

Have you tested any prototypes yet?
