nah, I have a buddy who skis reverse camber/sidecut Donner party's with some insane width underfoot on the EC... he's insane, and I hate him for it.... but he does it

93 is fine for me in pow. And I only think this because I have never skied on anything fatter, and hope I don't for a while still so when I finally switch over it'll be the best experience of my life.

nah man, you'll be fine. i ski pa for half my season, and the narrowest ski i spend time on are 183 blends. it's always nice having something wider, when i show up at blue mountain on 189 ll2s, people just stare, but they really are quite fun on hard snow.

friend of mine slays park on his line blends; so they are def. good for it!

i myself have a pair of 80mm joysticks and 108mm p4 skis and i like em both; the p4 is a bit heavy, but besides the little more swingweight and length i like both skis equally much....

it's just a little different style with fatter/heavier skis; but you can definately lay down with them...

also 100mm isn't very fat, so don't worry :)

yeah, back in the day my 108mm p4 was the fattest ski in the whole shop, nowadays almost anything under 110 and not rockered is considered an allround ski :)
(figure of speach ya know...)
i'm not starting a definiton of "fat" here, just, 100mm waist is very polyvalent and isn't necessarily a powder tool .....
