companies are starting to get out of hand with ski widths; the line elizabeth has a huge waist for being a park ski, and no powder skiier needs a wasit of 130mm. i think 80-90 mm is good enough.

No Props!
 
That's your opinion. 130 is too big for my taste right now but I definitely like 100mm for pow and at least 85 for park.

 
130 isnt too big, just to big for some people

kick there ass, drink there bear and steal there women

 
there's actually eight pairs or something like that.

try the prophets before you make assumptions about them.

 
I think it's great that companies are bringing out fat skis.

snowboard fatness is the limit, I think Eric Pollard will reach that level in the near future.

no, no i have not and those are pretty damn wide themselves; i think dropping the width down to 95-100 and just eliminating the camber will make a better powder ski.

No Props!
 
130 is soo big. thats nuts. you only need that for Big Mountain stuff.

130 is too fat for riding anything but backcountry powder, if youw ant to use them for all mountain too, you can ride anything up to like 110

 
too much float in pow gets annoying cause you are riding the surface not floating through the gooduns, I skied utah great with 85mm width, although I did sink a bit, if I was skiing powder I would go for the maden AK or seth and those are like, what, 90-100, that seems like perfectly fat for pow, but if your shredding larger things it may give you more control for a fatter ski. Fat skis are fun to ride never the less.

i always thought that the main factor for floating on powder was the amount of camber in the ski, and that width was just for stability.

No Props!
 
i think it just depends on the style of the rider if your into doing crossed up stuff dont get fattys but if you think that shot of pollard over that gangster ass table in hood is dope then get em its all about image dont you know that

fuck the fuz

free the fiz
 
i agree if you have to much float then are you riding powder or the top of powder i personaly like hauling and be kind of sucken in cuz thats the fun of it and when you carve its so cool i would think that if they get to wide then it would ruin that expierence

It's almost like when you are skiing on skis that wide and floating on the surface of the deep powder, you might as well be skiing on powder 6 inches deep. It ruins the entire purpose and fun of cutting through powder. I think it's stupid and the only reason companies are doing it is because it's different, it's new, it's apparently the cool thing to follow and because it's another marketing technique to make another buck for the company. Well they can have their super fat skis. It's ruining skiing's dynamic and graceful appeal. after fat skis showed up, skiing have taken a weird turn in how it is performed. We went from hoping turns in the powder to just both feet on the ground swoopy turns. It's too easy.

 
my Made'N AKs are 108mm at the waist and I love them for pow. So Im gonna have to say that 110mm is fat enough. But I have never skiied the Prophets so I shalt not judge the performance, but I do think they look stupid though couse they're so fat.

^i would say the prophets are for the days at aly that are soooo heavy and wet

kick there ass, drink there bear and steal there women

 
I think they can be any size companies want if you dont like them dont buy them and don't whine about them like a little pussy.

 
^OMG! YOU N00B! OMG OMG! STOP POSTING YOU RETARDED FAYGGET NEWB!

too fat is when you're able to ski powder like it is groomed.
