Can anyone find the widest ski on the market? I know the K2 powabunga is 136, but I don't know of anything with a wider underfoot.

Fatypus alotta is 140 but I'm sure there are a few skis wider than that.

The days of the super wide skis are behind. With rocker and 5 point shapes there is no need to have an old camber style ski over 125. I think the magic # is around 112 -115.

True, shredditor 112 is a killer ski, I have the Atomic Blog 2013 which 110 underfoot and skis like a champ just as well.
