FAT BOARDS!!!

All right, first off, I live on the east coast, but go out west about once a year. I have a pair of Pow'airs, and I was thinking that for my next pair of skis, I would get a pair of fats. I ski everything, park, not much pipe, all mountain, trees, and a little bit of bumps. Anyway, I was debating between the Dynastar LBF, Inspired by Nobis, and lastly, Line Motherships. Anyone who skis any of these I would really like some advice on what to get.

BTW: I'm an ex-gate chaser, so I like a stiff ski that I can really push to the limit.

If your only going out west once a year, then you're probably better off just getting a good all mountain park ski like the scratch fs or 1080s or something. They work fine in powder, unless your like hiking peaks and riding two feet of fresh at 40mph then dropping a 40 footer at the bottom. And even then, i know a guy that skied 3 years on a pair of original 1080s and did that sort of stuff.

Don't think just jump.

 
I ride the inspireds! They are great skis! They are sick in the pow! Go dang fast!

And they are pretty good for park. But they are on the heavy side. (\____/)

scratch BC would be a good ski, fat, but also good in park.

wow good observation! You are officaily the new ns genious. You can pick up your award after I shove it up your ass. - Phrosty

 
Yeah the scratch BC is a great ski. But as said earlier if your not skiing to much powder get the Scratch FS

the lbfs are good for everything but the bumps or very short turns. you can rail carve the ski if you want to. Its torsionally stiff. best ski ive ever owned. I liked the 1080 I have a pair but they chatter at speed. you can still ski the lbf out east easy.

P.S. JAPAN HAS SICK POWDER

 
I own little big fats, and they certianly are softer (as most powder skis are) than some all mountain skis. However, they are much stiffer than Pocket Rockets and very stable at high speeds or on hard pack/ice. Skiing crud is just fine too. Short turns are easy and I have no problem with them in the shitty snow of Wisconsin. Oh yeah, and they are great fun in the park as well.

 
get a mid-fat instead of a fat. for a trip once a year, you're just wasting your money!

Scratch BC in a 176 is an 86mm waist, not that wide. If you need longer, peep the Volkl Karma, or fuck, the new skogen pro model might do it.

TMC WUUUUUUUUUUUUUT

WE KILL YOU

SKIER: How would you describe your style?

PJ Cliche: Total skate influence. Even doh dis is on concrete, an you are face sideways, an it has sweet fuck all to do with ski, skate 'as play a huge role wit my steeze.

 
I own LBF fairly heavy with look p12 edges ripped out after 2 years but VERY stable while being soft enough for max feel and response these do EVERYTHING when I stepped on these skiing just changed for me. The NOBIS is the exact same but twice as stiff. NEXT PAIR = SCRATCH BC - ps GO FAT AND TWINNED, don't get mid-fat 90 waist = stable as shit.
