Looking for a ski to ski powder this year and want a ski that's like 112-115 underfoot. I have been looking at the atomic bent chetlers but they are 120 underfoot. Would a ski that fat make it harder to spin 360's and shifties and stuff? I'm 5'11 155 lbs and want a ski that can ski pow but still allow me to have snappy and poppy control like I have on my armada halo 2's thanks.
 
Like swanny said above, moment deathwish are hella nice skis. What happens when you get a wider ski is you get better float for a longer turn radius. If you're skiing in 1+ feet of fluff, a wider ski will be more beneficial. I like the Icelantic Gypsys because their profile is rocker/flat/rocker giving it nice float and butterability in soft stuff. They also are not to shabby at carving on groomers but being at a 125 waist makes them a bit hard to turn over in the trees.

120 underfoot is huge for a 155 pound guy. Unless you live in Japan or its a second pow ski.

IMO it's just about skier ability. I'm 160 lbs and 5'9 but don't mind a 125 waist.
