Is 105 to wide for park?

[ReedSkis~]

Im thinking i want fatter skis this year but is 105 to fat for all mountain versatility plus some park?
i dont know whether to go with a fat ski or just get another park ski...

105 for a all mountain/park is fine i use Ep's for that but i'm thinknig of getting somthing around 115 but 105 would be fine but what your hieght weight and style of skiing that would help as well and are you east or west coast riding

it all depends on what you want, i pesronally would love a fat park ski, if it was light.

theres advantages to both skinny skis and wide skis. if you like to shred all mountain along with park, and your kind of burly then it would be a better choice for you to get the wide ski, but if you like to do only park or your small then its a better idea to get a skinnier more park specific ski.

well you arent gonna be able to spin switch 10s easily or anything but they wont explode. alot of people rode mad'ns in the park and those things are like 109 at the waist or something.

Well you live in NY, so do you really ski that much pow? I would say 105 is a bit much for park...

Personally, I don't understand why people compromise their park skiing by using fat skis. However, if you want to, then go for it. But for a park ski, I don't want anything over 85 at the waist.

I use my Lizzies for park a fair bit.. they are 110 underfoot. I know lots of people ski park on Lizzies, but you see hellbents in the park (i'm not saying this is a good/bad idea) and they must be at least 125?

I learned to ski park on AK enemies (108mm) and I personaly like it. Of course its a bit harder to do quick spins and pretzels etc but the stability is nce. If you don't spend your whole day in the park, I would say it's a good idea for sure

well they are a park ski

thank you, id say up to 90 is fine, but you are completely right.

ive been skiing my hellbents in the park they are 127. but its kind of rediculous. in some ways its cool, but you deffinitly reach a point where you just cant d anything else just causeof the size. and i beleive 110 would be the same. you may want to try some line blends they are 100 waist. and supposed to be for all mountain and park. a bunch of sick skiers use em up here at HOOD. but i wouldnt go to wide especially on EC. i like a wider ski, but for the park ime gonna get someting around 90 waist
