definately not, there are tons of skis 90 and up that kill on groomers.

i ride as 97 waist ski on the groomers and it rips hard, fast and super stable, but its more about the sweeping GS turns instead of slow short turns for me

yeah my elizabeths are 110 in the waist and KILL groomers. seriously. but like 1080PLP said, they arc, they don't turn too quickly.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

of course fat skis are good on groomers. notice how everyone rides fat skis these days. anything under 80 should be banned

where have you been?

invaders are sick...they are very stable in crud but still are somehow the most buttery ski ever, and im sorry but if you cant handle stuff under 85 mm than you need to go back to ski school, yea its easier, but u can still ski fujas in powder or trouble makers in powder...its the skier more than the skis
