Going from 86 to 94, you probably won't notice much of a difference. Maybe you'd notice a difference if you're going from 78 up to a 108 then you might, but if the difference is 8mm I doubt you notice it.

it'll be tougher to spin excessively, but i've heard wide skis are tons of fun in the park and feel great on jumps. I think 94-95 would work fine for park

Yeh man. I have head oblivions. i think they are 91 underfoot and my old ones were like 80. Just found them more stable a bit faster, more buttery and more fun all together. No issues spin wise!
