So i'm thinking of buying some fatter skis, namely the seths, but i live on the east coast.  I do occasionally come out west, but i will mostly be stuck back east.  Am i completely kidding myself, or would i have fun on these skis wherever?

I've got bacons and I ski in New York. I love them. Go fat and you'll never go back.

If Seth is on the East Coast, then this thread is in the right section!

i would recomend the kung fujas little narrower but can still handle anything.

i have the bridge already, so the kung fujas would be a little redundant, i was looking for a loftier, softer ski.  And i apologize for whoever was confused by this thread, but in my defense, there was no apostrophe "Seth's on the east coast" would mean he was on the east coast.

i live on the east coast and seth's are my only ski. they are sick. i love the flex and mini rocker, they are great on groomers and in the crud and pow. i also really like them in the park.

if your set on seths then you should get them

but they have a mini rocker on them, which wont really do anything for you
if you want a wider ski that will rip in park and on the mountain get the new line blends or some kung fujas
those are prob you best bet

i rode them over the summer at whistler and they were sick skis... the mini rocker is so fun and they turn deecent for a fat ski. idk how tehy ride on ice but they were a tad heavy for park but watev i dont spend my whole day in teh park but personally i would get a ski that is a bit skinnier and more sidecut for carving and shit casue on the esat coast we really dont get much pow and when there is pow im sure u can deal with a ski like 85  or less or watev
but yea its a sick ski

mine are mounted right near core center and they work great in the pow and park.  i wouldnt mount them  any further foward than core center because then you are working against the construction of the ski.  if you mount them further back than core center then you are losing park performance and gaining powder performance.  i found that core center is the happy medium and my seths shred everywhere.
