Replying to Fat Skis + Spring Slush? Who is doing it
To start off, I'm not sure if anyone has posted anything like this before.
Anyways, this past weekend I thought to ride my Moment Bibbys (fully rockered and 116mm underfoot) at Whiteface, Ny. It dawned on me that rockered fat skis should have the same affect skiing deep(isn) slush in the spring as 5+ inches of pow.
I skied them 2 days in a row until I decided that I wanted to ski all park on sunday, when I switched to a pair of Armadas. I skied all mtn, jumps, and some clever park features that Whiteface has right now. I loved every second of it. Definitely the way to go if you can resist (if you choose) hitting rails and just like to charge and go big. They were much more stable than my AR7s on jump landings and sending trail mergings, where as in normal Whiteface conditions they would be all over the place and a handfull.
Just wondering if anyone else does this and what they think, becasue on the EC I certaintly dont see it.
