What are the benefits of having a wide ski like the wet + for skiing park?

They look dope, to me feel more stable, have more style, makes you sex man for mayor and a wise man once told be anything under 100 is pussy shit. Only down side is you can’t do 4000 frontswaps on a down tube

The wet plus is not a wide ski, I'm assuming you're referring to the wide. The added waist width makes sliding on rails more stable and allows for a bigger overall platform. They can also be fun in smaller amounts of soft snow.

They can be fun for doing easy days in the park and just chill tube riding but honestly the swing weight can be ass on bigger stuff. Trying do to any higher rotations takes a bit more effort but that's also partly cause I weigh like 10 pounds

It's hard to describe but they just feel good. I always thought I preferred 80mm ish park skis and that's all I ever bought. This year I moved out west and got bought a pair of on3p jeffery 108s as my "all mountain" skis. They're not even centre mounted but even on 100% park days I'll usually pick them over my armada arv 86s just because they feel better to ride.
