I would ride those in park just to scare people...20 cm thick, that is like 9 inches. Where can you buy them? Because they aren't on liberty's website.

That is getting out of hand.  Then again people said that when they all rode 50 mm waisted skis.  As far as I cann tell right now, there is no need for anything more than 130 underfoot.

Why not? It's cool to see such an extreme, I highly doubt it will become mainstream. But at least there are people out there trying new things and new ways to slide down the mountain.

The fattest ski that you can currently buy is most likely the Monstre Fat:
http://www.duretskis.com/index.php?idarticle=289

It is basically two slightly modified Duret monoskis.

I dare someone to try and bend brakes around those suckers..

You would seriously need custom length brake arms - no normal brake would work - even if you could bend them around..

Thats seriously hilarious though..20cm wide.

they look like two carving swallowtail snowboards with bindings on it, really. but liberty of all companies would be idiots to try to produce a ski like that.

secondly those would be really dangerous for your knees. youd be turning and be about 8 inches off the ground...

yeah i wouldn't want to try a 200 ski cause i mean it would be really really hard to turn and you would never sink in and out of the powder it is fun to go in and come out not just skim on top the whole time

Looks like you would have to be pretty wide hipped to ski those fuckers and not be on your inside edge the whole time, maybe it doesn't matter in the depth of snow they are meant for

You would have to ride those like you ride a horse. Knees wider than your shoulders... just a thought where on earth is the snow that fluffy that you need 200mm under foot? Also if you don't want to sink into snow that bad go ride groomers.

so haha, ummm, i look at these SKIS  and think, well what would mcconkey do?
i think he would probably say "you call those skis? these are skis!!!" and he would whip out some wakeboards mounted up with cross country bindings. then go scarachoute everest.
