I'm thinking of getting some wide's for my next ski but they are kind of scaring me because of the width. People who have ridden the wide's and the wets what do you think, how different do they feel and do the wides offer more stability in the park but also just on groomers, trees and side hits. I am 6'3" 190 so I feel like I would overpower just regular wets, but maybe I'm wrong, thanks

I don’t think the wides offer anymore stability, just a wider platform for powder, but it is heavier by a pound. I’m your height and weight and going wet+

Anybody who owns them lemme get some input, I'm not going to be going for any techy rail stuff but just basic swaps and 270s, and boosting sidehits. How will the wides hold up for this kind of relaxed style?
