The FATest ski ever!

I think the only person that could ski those without banging them together all the time would be Tanner Hall. They're pretty cool skis, just totally useless unless you're a total fatass.
 
Wait a minute I thought I recognized those. Get this, those used to be sold individually as Monoskis. Now they are jumping on the Fat ski thing to try to break even on the mold they made since nobody buys Monos. No joke, those were not originally built as pairs.
 
you don't really need anything bigger then the prophet, and even that is HUGE. Tons of people still ski the BC old school style with 200 cm racers man.
 
There's no point to having a waist bigger than 125mm. I've skied plenty of neck-deep days and I have never seen the need for something that fat. The only reason companies can sell skis that wide is that people will buy them just to brag about how fat their skis are. And if you try to argue that a ski that huge is revolutionary in any sort of way, it isn't. It's exactly the same as any other ski except they made it wider. There is nothing special about the prophet 130. The only powder skis that deserve recognition for being innovative are the ones McConkey designed.
 
What you should notice is they made a snowboard that is 3mm wider throughout....so the literally just made a pair of skis with 2 snowboards.
 
Lotus 138? That ski crushes the spats and it is 138 in the waist.

but I tend to agree....anything over 120 isnt really needed althought it can be pretty fun.
 
Touche.

There are a few skis that are the same basic concept as the spatula, somehow I totally forgot about those. But yeah, if you're not going with a reverse sidecut ski there isn't much of a need to go over 125 at the waist.
 
you said what I actually wanted to add: In a traditional shape, going super fat is kind of stupid. You need to have some type of rocker tip, crazy sidecut, etc, to make them fun
 
The Prophet 130?

Oh wait, nevermind....Line made that, and then the following two years creating/producing/riding the fattest ski has just become a dick swinging contest. Anything post 130 in a mass production(i.e. excluding iggy, dp, etc...don't kill me guys) has just become GET IT FATTER CLAIM THE FATTEST....
