Go Big or Go home

By Kretzky Ranked #99 - Alpine Fat Skis August 10, 2009

I picked these up at the beginning of last season to serve me on my trips out west and for freshies in New England. I even tried them out on ice just to see how they'd do. While they did better than expected, I would definitely reccomend something skinnier for the really hardpack we see in the east. I'm 175lb and went with the 183s and mounted Jester's on them.
Out west these ski's are just plain bomber. You can ski deep stuff, drop off cliffs, ski switch, and pretty much do whatever you want. These skis will push you to be a better skier. I wouldn't reccomend them to a timid skier though, when it says expert, it means it. Also, my topsheets showed quite a few scratches and scuffs after about 10-15 days of using them. Nothing major, just cosmetic.
