Over snowboarding, wanna jib ski all day.

Whats the word on wide skis for jibbing and overall park, im tryin to but a pair for next season but Im not sure if its the best idea or not for what I want to do.

If so throw some names at meh so i can look into it.

i bought a pair of line anthems last year and couldnt have been happier... super soft and buttery, 93 under foot, rock solid bases and edges... overall, the best park ski ive ever owned...    on the other side of the spectrum, ive never had more fun than jibbing with my ep pros on...

One option is the Line Anthems. I have not ridden them, but people on this site seem to like them and I know some people who ride them on my mountain.

fatter = heavier, heavier = not as good in the park

I don't recommend super fat because they slow you down on spins (although are glorious for landing big hits).  I think the anthem is as fat as you'd want to go with an everyday park ski, but as Mark said above, I highly enjoyed my bacons in the park from time to time.

i agree... my eps are super cumbersome in the park, but noone will ever take away from me how much fun i have on them when i do occasionally shred park laps with em..
