I think that in five years all park skis will be atleast 90mm in the waist. Every year twins get bigger and bigger. Just look at the fujatives and 1080's.

yeah, but were i ski on the east coast in NY i cant ride a 90 mm underfoot. its cool that they are making them fatter, but they also need to have a skinner one too cause most the guys on the east coast cant ride that

Scratch BCs and Seth Pistols are perfect examples. Alot of people rock those skis in the park and kick ass.

The only thing I hate about fat skis is that they stop dead when you get to a groomer

^na. I mean it's definately not a slalom ski, but if you know what you're doing you can do super g carves on a fat ski no problem. I do it all the time on my BCs.

ski comps just like the west more then the east so they will start only making fat skis. who needs east coast ice ridding its the most worthless skiing ever.

if you think about it almost all snowboards are 200
at waist, so it makes sense that skis will get fatter
