for me, something 95-100mm is perfect for this. Anything wider tends to grab more snow and get too heavy or pulled in a funny direction.

I rock my 109 underfoot Worth Magics constantly in the slush- and everything else really- and love them. Wider is better (to a point obviously) in the Eastern spring, as it helps you stay up on top of what little slush may be left. Base prep is most important though, make sure you hard brush the FUCK out of your bases and get that structure nice and even and deep. Wax em up good, Hertel Hot Sauce wax is the best BY FAR (for the money)for spring slush conditions and having a Zardoz puck in your pocket will help a lot too.

I've skied it many times on skinnies, but I like fatties better unless you're talking Superstar in late May type huge bumps. Surfier, faster transitions, easier initiation since you don't get as mired down in a turn and they keep you off the dirt for the most part.

So yeah, you are not alone. Fatties are awesome ad totally fun in slushy conditions.

Cole Drexler does.

He's usually on next years Line Blends at my mountain.

I have no idea how to embed from Instagram so I'll just link it up:

That's the life right there.

I have been riding some old scott P4s 108 underfoot. They tear the shit out of slush, its super fun. They also have extremely soft tails and that just adds to how fun they are. My Halo2s (95mm underfoot) don't perform nearly as well in slush. The P4s just rip through the slush like its nothing.

I have been riding hellbents and they are great

Terrible idea

I only ski my 122m underfoot fatties....and I love every second of it

do you ski at blue?

everybody is doing it. do it.

I wish I was, I left my bacons at home... I'm on a 3 week trip with only my TCs. Not happy about it.

It's all about base structure and wax.

Kastle FX94's = spring mogul smashing fun.

94 underfoot is not a fat ski. lol

Well put, I couldnt agree more.

Are these the white ones with the Orange and Yellow stripes? I remember wanted them badly years back, and thought they were too massive!

1kewldewdI have been riding hellbents and they are great

always wanted to rip Bents in general, would love nothing more than to own originals with eh 122 waist still.

.nyles94 underfoot is not a fat ski. lol

Its plenty fat enough when I grew up on 210 straight skis which were 70mm from tip to tail pretty much. Also in Europe ive not found a day where I couldnt get away with riding under 100mm waisted sticks.

Spring days + Powder skis = Ultimate fuck around day

If you mean this version, then yes. You should have gotten them when you had the chance(probably in like 2006 when they came out), they are so fun to ride. I wish scott would remake them, all of the skis they make now are super stiff, but the P4s are crazy soft(in the tails at least) and they are full camber which is interesting too. And the graphics are soooo clean too, I love almost everything about them.

Honestly fat skis are always my go to unless its cold and no new snow. Even then, I don't mind bombing groomers or ripping the park on big skis

Those are so rad, I wish more graphics were like this

If it's not icy, I ski my 117mm Obsethed. I've only had my other skis out maybe 6 times this season.

old p4 graphics are some of the best ever.

Hell yeah thats the one. Those bad boys came out right around the time rocker (maybe before actually) rocker was introduced so i imagine they kill it everywhere wihtout sacraficing to omuch stability that you might in a rockered fatty. Jealous!

they actually kind of have what I like to call a false rocker. The tails are so soft that when skiing in soft stuff it helps keep the tips above the snow(like rocker), but they can still rip groomers because of the camber, its really cool.

totaly get what you mean. This is how the old Seth Vicious were also

How fat is fat? I have a pair of ON3P pillowfights and I can't decide if I want to sell them... if they kill it in the slush I'll keep it for sure, but with a 135mm waist width I'm not how sure how great they'd be for that...

im refering to the 110-120mm range. pillowfights might be a handful

I love riding Hellbents in spring slush. So surfy... if anything even more so than pow, because there's a bit more weight behind slush so you can really lay into it.

The only issue is that to get them to run kinda fast on wet snow you need a very aggressive base structure, which then sucks massive balls in the cold dry snow when the next season starts... and you can't just keep base grinding them for different structures unless you're getting new skis every year.

Pretty sure I saw you on Saturday, were you out? Super fun day

I do it to blow kids' minds. Last summer I took my Caylors out for a few laps, just maching everywhere jumping over things. I almost killed some Windell's kids who stacked up in the landing of a box I was nose dragging in pubby. Basically found tranny on some kid's ski. I saw them at the bottom later and they asked me how I was able to ski on "big skis".

Gonna do that a few more times this year.

I should have taken my Ghost Chants out one of these spring days. Always got funny looks shredding around Okemo on them.

Have magic js so thinking about doing this haha.

Full rocker 112mm hojis all day every day. Ice, pow, bumps, gates, park, anything!

I've been riding my blogs on every thing ice, groomers, powder, slush you name it they've been through it. I prefer them in the park too. I wish Atomic would make them again. Best ski I have ever owned.

right? its like you spend just as much time in the air popping (with ease) from bump to bump as you do on the ground.

Seriously, just adds a whole nother level of playfulness
