How much different is it than on narrower skis.
I have been skiing on 80mm last skis and am getting some that are 93mm.
Thanks guys

That's not really going to be too noticeable. A ton of park skis are 90ish underfoot, so clearly it's a good width that works well.
I never notice a huge difference when go from my 79 underfoot to my 90 underfoot skis. Maybe it takes a little more to pretzel, but spinning is the same. I do notice a huge difference when I try to ride pow skis on rails. It just takes a lot more effort

Fuck, it won't be too bad though, right?
Like 93 underfoot won't be too hard to scissor and stuff.. right?

No it's easy. It will be an almost unnoticeable difference from what you're coming from

Easier do surface swaps and 50-50s, its better in my opinion

I have 92 mm and if anything the width makes it easier for tricks.

between my 86s and my 110s, id rather slide rails on my 86s. So much easier to correct, balance and switchup.
