Post your opinions on why you like fat skis for park or skinny skis for park.

i rock the same blends in this video and they are great in the pow, and the park. 100 underfoot, thin enough for sw'ups and 270's on rails, great stability on jumps, and gilde through the pow with ease

My roommate took my ARGs down the local hill in town and hit a few features.

I use the Patrons (113 mm waist) in the park all the time. Super fun and playful ski. Love them so much. I had JJ:s before, and I used to ride them in the park as well.

I have a pair of park skis as well, Ace of Spades. I don't really use them that much though. I think they're a bit too light, a bit to skinny, and a bit too short (I have 184, longest length) to feel good. Basically I only use them if there is going to be rails involved, which is not that much.

I can't use my normal park skis since my brake is fucked so riding my 192 bentchetlers in the park is quite different. the result is quite orgasmic

I've seen guys throw shit down in the park that probably 90% of people on this site can't do on 110+ underfoot skis.

Blends4Lyfe. at 100 underfoot they're the perfect size for jibbing and jumps. though skinny is nice for icy park days.

it's all about what style you work with personally. NOT about what LOOKS GOOD. If I chose everything that "looked good" I would be shallow. Personally, I enjoy super skinny skis for everything, but that's just what I'm used to.
