Is 100mm too wide for skiing in park the whole season?
or that is?

What you think?

Nope thats not that wide at all. I skied Kung Fujas (95 underfoot) in the park all last year and they were fine. It seems that you are more stable on landings with wider skis, but a little more difficult on the rails.

I ski lizzies (110) now but i also skied a fair bit of park on my first pair of EP Pros (127). Wouldn't choose the EPs for pure park but lizzies are perfect at 110.

When you say "lizzies", you mean Line Elizabeths?

Well, that sounds good, cause my local shop has a pair of last year Line Blends (for pretty good price), and they are 100 under foot. I ski mostly park, but about 14 days pow.

blends in a 178 or 183 sound great, elizabeths would probably be too short and soft for your size.

yes 100 mm will be fine. i like wide park skis cause they are easier to stomp with and rails imo are more stable.
