Fat skis, in general. I'd rather ride Ar5s than pistols in park, though.

PHAT!! It skis just like good park skis and you can do fine on groomers as well, if not better, and they rock my sox in powder, so if you live in the west you should own fat skis

fat

skiing should be like mcdonalds...sure they started out with just hamburgers, them they progressed to breakfest sandwiches and salads and mcflurries. we all love the new stuff, but we still love the old stuff as well. so its a good thing they still offer the hambrugers with their mc flurries and breakfast combos -joeengel

Medium... like public enemy width. That makes it so they are good in powder, and kick ass in the park. Mediums all the way. Fat skis look cooler though, but that shouldn't be your reasons for buying a ski now, should it?

I just got some Motherships and am super stoked to see how they are. Widest I've been before that was 87mm. Time will tell. I liked my mids.
