pistols are pretty good in pipe but they are 95 so a lil wider htan what you are looking for.

skiing is just another way to please yourself without the mess.

if you know how to ski, wide skis aren't really much of a disadvantage, unless you ski east coast ice everyday, or try to straightline moguls.....my skis are 79mm underneath and they still turn way easy, i almost wish i had bought a fatter ski sometimes, but my old skis were 68 underneath so mine are fat enough for now

I ride xxxs in the pipe - other than being a bit on the heavy side, no worries. Mind you, if I were concerned about weight, I would loose it off of my fat ass first...

Don't bother buying any ski skinnier than 78mm, and preferably over 85mm. That's what I think. Unless you can have like 8 pair of skis.
