115mm in park

[belti02]

What’s your opinion on whats to wide i ski mostly bc but also some park. Would you say that you can use 115mm underfoot in park?

 

[fabbe]

i dont really know.

 

[teabag]

The widest skis I’ve ridden in park were 102mm underboot so I’m not talking from experience but I’d imagine they’d feel a bit clumsy. Probably not the best for techy rail tricks and bigger spins.

 

[jumpman101]

I skied the jj as a daily park ski for a year and went back to a jeffrey 102. It was super clumsy and slow. If you are just doing a lap here and there it won't be bad but if it is every lap look for something narrower.

 

[Twig]

Yes

 

[teabag]

Yes

Still though, not a single swap or a spin bigger than 540 was executed. Maybe the properties of the ski had something to do with it? Looks fun for just cruising like that tho.

 

[HuumeHippi]

I've done a few days in park with 120 bents, cryising is fun but cant do many tricks on them. One foot slides are easier though.

 

[Dlonetti]

I rode 106s for 2 seasons and enjoyed it. But I probably wouldnt go more than 110

 

[tdollo]

Whitewalkers are insane in the park, but those thin edges and caruba core means your time is limited until they clap

No.

Homie in highschool exclusive skied surface one lifes

I don't like using wide skis when skiing only park but they're fine, you just can't be quite as quick. Just try it and see if it works for you.

 

[Raf.Diaz.]

Id say find some hellbent

 

[Zurg]

I spent 10ish days in the park on some 186 on3p jeffery 108s and everything the felt cumbersome. Pretty much double the effort on every trick. On rails you dont get much feel, and it felt like you were just on for the ride.

On the flip I was on some 186 j vacations (104) and riding the park was a blast. ?

 

[migidimigi]

I ski Bentchetlers in park especially when it is warm and super slushy. They are light as fuck so they are pretty agile and easy to ski, would not do that on heavier skis.

 

[SWRTOFFICIAL]

I rode 120’s for a season in park, it’s possible but not as fun. If ur doing mostly bc stuff they’ll be good for park here and there, but if you wanna dedicate more to park I wouldn’t go over 110

Verry nice?

OP I have taken my reckoned 112s in the park and they were very fun, maybe harder to stuff but surprisingly not as difficult as you would think

I could ski 106 wide in the park fine, and i love techy rail tricks like quad pretz swap pretz 2, and also 2 on superfeds

you just gotta get used to what you are gonna ski, sure it might be easier on a smaller ski, but that doesnt mean its impossible on a bigger ski

 

[Lemuel]

It’ll depend on the ski. But most skis in the 115+ club are going to have less side cut which will add the the clumsy feel.

I’ve spent some days on my Majesty Lumberjacks in the park (120mm) and they are a ton of fun. If you like skiing / hitting trails fast, boostin, and generally not doing much spinning a fatty’ll get the job done

 

[Lonely]

I learned how to hit rails on hellbents

bro has never seen a jake carney edit before

bro has never seen a jake carney edit before

I get that it sounds like I think he can’t do more with those skis but I was just throwing it out there to provoke conversation

 

[Slowbro]

I ski my Pettitors (122 underfoot) in the park now and then. Rails are tough, I can't manage much more than a surface swap to two out on them, and sliding feels harder to control. Jumps are also an experience... You can really feel the tips flopping around on landings and you need to land bolts to not wash out.

It's fun to do now and then for a change but IMO the max width for a dedicated park ski should be 105mm. Line Elizabeths are the fattest park ski ever I think, at 115mm, but they were also intended to be skied in a shorter length and didn't have any rocker.

 

[nCrow]

If you're a good enough skier the limit does not exist

 

[bradwalters]

I ski the Reckoner 112 as my park ski. Super fun. Kinda slows my old ass down from trying to spin too much. Great when it gets slushy also.

 

[partyandBS]

i got some ON3Ps on an impulse buy that are 110 underfoot. my concern is that the wider ski means additional pressure on the edge when setting this deteriorating the edge faster than a skinnier ski. im a big dude at 180lbs and 6’ 3.5” (the .5 is a running joke but also spot on lol) so i feel like 110 is more appropriate for me than some of the short kings out there. so imma run it.

its a lot more ski than my current set up which is good. my factions were warrentied and they sent me ct 2.0 183s instead of 188s and since they were free after beating the shit out of my other pair i wasnt complaining. but ON3P 186 is taller than my armada and fatypus skis that are both labeled 188s which is dope. getting side tracked here but i was on the NS x J Skis whipits 10 years ago when j skis was born and they were 178 and 90 underfoot. i was basically snow blading lol

 

[Dlonetti]

Candide ripping on his new 111s on insta recently

 

[elm.]

I had some revision subtractions that were pretty baller for the park. Everything else has been pretty meh

 

[Clark456]

Landing a jump in hellbents is such a great noise

Id say find some hellbent

This was g as hell

 

[floras]

the metal under your foot on an sf110 is for better rail feel

 

[sonofson]

Of course you can. Maybe not optimal though.

I skied Sakanas for the past two years. Granted, they are 105 underfoot but wide as hell everywhere else. Least clumsy ski I've ever ridden so far

 

[Loodwik]

Used to have the old shreditor 112 for park and everything else. Great in slush but sore knees a lot of the time.

 

[Vzx]

It doable but having anything more than a 110mm will most likely make it harder to spin and its just more clunky and less fun.

I used to ride 106 in the park before they broke. They feel real nice to slide on and stable, but doing any tricks on rails is a lot harder. Like a lot. I would imagine, that 115mm would be very hard to do any tech in like swaps or spins out. But for kickers and just pure slides, its a lot of fun.
