It will come down to how you ski th park. You won't be doing the bigger tricks I a ski that fat but you could do a lot of jibby stuff fine. So if you are looking to really progress in th park it may not be a good choice but if you are more about having fun out of the park and some chill laps in te park go for it. It can also be good if you want to take tricks to powder. Abma ride rocker 108's in the park last season as it made the jump up to the rocker 122 for powder less of a change.

If you weigh 108 you are too fat

On topic, my daily drivers are 117s. I don't ski park but they're fine on groomers and even bumps unless the conditions suck (i.e. it has been 40 degrees and no snow for two weeks).

^ my daily driver in South Dakota last year was my 123 waist bentchetlers. I have never had more fun on a ski.

This year my DD is changing to the Devastators. But my park to all mountain is about 20/80.

Where are you skiing? If its on nothing but ice on the ice coast its going to be on the hefty side. Im thinking of tight ass trees with moguls. I found out east most of the time a 95ish waist wasnt hindering to roll over on edge but felt stable. Also will the rocker profile fit for what you will be skiing? I personally can't stand any rocker on ice.
