Saw a dude at the canyons one day rockin two k2 viper jr size snowboards with marker griffs mounted in the center....we were on the saddleback lift and saw him comin out of the last half of the park....he wasn't doin anything special but there was like 8" of fresh and he was the only one actually clearing the gaps on the last two kickers....haha....it was the only time we saw him....I sooo bad wanted to talk to him and we hung around the park for like 30 mins waitin to see him again but nothin....looked fun as shit though....

I remember seeing a picture somewhere of a guy that mounted ski bindings on 2 snowboards.  Obviously they aren't the fattest "Skis" but still pretty gnarly.  +K if you can find it.

Fattest I've seen in real life is the Volkl Kuro (I think that's the name).

anything above 140 is pointless and would only slow you down.

i own kuros and they are pretty damn big. /claim

there are some ridiculous skis coming out though, the dps spoon is lookin pretty big along and ridiculous wuth a crazy rocker thing and a convex base...i feel like convex bases are the next technology for powder skiing, ive never skiied on skis with it but it seems like it would be amazing in pow and retarded on hard pack. there is another really small company coming out with a ski with a convex base too, but i forget the name

That's not an opinion it's a fact they suck at groomers and can't hold an edge on anything besides VERY deep powder.

Come on bro:





That said, I saw a group of five French dudes with Pontoons last year. They all wore the same one piece suits and avalungs and had beards + long hair, like some crazy mythical powder clan.
