Ive been meaning to add a fat park ski to my set. I am curious what NS has to offer in advice.

Currently i can get a good deal on either helix or double-helix liberty skis for 2013, but im open to suggestions. (already got the super fat and the classic symetrical twins)

Thinking ball park just north of 100mm underfoot.

Thanks.

Line Blends are right at 100 I think and they get rave reviews.

Yupp, I can see that. They were one of my top choices but i feel the liberties are a fair bit lighter being made of bamboo and what not.

Moment PB & J may be another to look into

K2 Fujas, RMU Apostle if you want to get funky with some sizable rocker and the Blend like they mentioned above would all probably be really fun in the park.

Sweet vid!
All that early rise in the ice coast would be a hoot,

but I think the PB& J are definatly right up my alley.

I think mid fats are pretty limiting as they're too big for park and too narrow for pow. Might as well go big.

yea got the chetlers in 192
and always wanted the chopsticks but they dont exist anymore.

Mid fats im thinking are just like buttery park skis, super flow-y if that makes sense.

Wait what. Not sure what you're saying, but skiing park on a 130 waisted ski would be no fun imo
