last time I checked they don't make skis for bouncers

haha seriously they don't have to be wider necessarily, but definitely get some stiffer skis.  Try Line Prophets or Head skis.  And definitely get longer skis around 190cm if you can.

Not mandatory, but wider skis would give you better stability..95-105mm sounds good.

Definitely check out Prophet 100's in like a 186 or whatever the longest length is.  Look at the '10 Extremes in a 184, any Volkl probably the bridge in a 185 I believe.

just get something tall, not necessarily wide. i mean you probably want a bigger waist for stability but no need to got like really fat skis unless your skiing pow

what is bed for you? do they put you back in the elephant cage?

i'm sorry, that was really really mean but you're huge dood!!

you don't need something fat, get something around like 90-100 underfoot but make sure it's really long. don't go too narrow tho but too fat will ski weird for you
