What's the widest ski out on the market right now based on underfoot size? The widest I could find is the Fat-ypus A-lotta at 140mm underfoot width.

Probably maybe should've put this in gear talk. Oops, my bad.

Mutants are not needed.  I ski tahoe which two years ago broke the record for most snowfall at a resort in 24 hrs.  Thus one of the snowiest places (in terms of snowing a lot quickly) and I don't think they're ever needed.  Sorry, I like face shots...........that's what she said.

Yep. I feel that would take away from the pow skiing experience though

So fat they couldn't get a decent skier to model the ski.

*facepalm

My Praxis powboards are 134mm I believe with a full reverse/reverse setup, that's about as wide as I'm willing to go.

Hahaha, I love how he hucks the cornice into pow and almost backslaps because the skis don't submerge at all. That width is just excessive.

This is the widest I've been on (135mm underfoot): http://www.downskis.com/ski-specifications/countdown-1

I wouldn't go any wider, but this width has been fantastic for cat, heli and exceptionally deep inbounds days.

Liberty thread is 7 yr old.

I'm pretty sure OP had the time to research the widest skis in the meantime.
