Park Ski Width

Hi NS,

I've recently been looking at the ON3P factory finds and I've never bought park skis before but I was wondering what is a good width underfoot for a park ski. I've been looking between the Mango 90 and Mango 100 but can't decide and I've been worried that the Mango 100 might be too heavy since I'm looking for the 181.



Thanks in advance!

It’s really up to you but personally I rock the 90s and I love em. Im sure you’ll be good with either or but if you’re on the heavier side I’d say go 100. & I’ve def heard a lot of people complain about the weight so just keep that in consideration

I ride the 100s and have had no problems with weight, just durability issues

The weight is a concern for me so I think I’ll go with the 90. I’m still deciding between the factory find and the normal one since I get them for same price.

It depends on where you ski and what type of skiing you do. If you're skiing park only I would recommend not going above 95. But if you ski out west and want to do all mountain pow skiing go 100. Also if you like urban skiing the lighter ski with a tighter turn radius of the 90 would help. If you ski pow, get 100+, don't ski pow and do park/urban only, go 95 or below.
