so ive heard a lot of mixed things on this ski. A lot of people say that its decent but due to how wide of a park ski it is it sort of become heavy almost and that it seems it would fit an all mountain ski rather than a park ski. Is this true? I also heard that they arent very durable. Or is this a great park ski??

not super durable, but 98 underfoot is becoming a very common width for a park skis. A lot of dudes are riding wider skis now.

Do you know how heavy these skis are by any chance? Some say they are light others say heavy

thin construction = very light, also = not super durable

Rode them today and they are super flexible but we're also washing out on me on bigger jumps. I wish I could have ridden the 188 to compare the 178s were just a tad short. Still had fun on the ski and its super easy to butter compared to my chronics

It wasn't stable when I was hitting jumps I normally stomp with my chronics. They didn't feel solid on the landing. Might have been the size or the fact that they are way more flexible than what I'm used to

I like my Fat-ypus L toros. It's super buttery and fun but being that it's 101 underfoot and a little stiffer than the al dentes it can still charge.
