does anyone know if the the width of the ski changes with the length of the ski?  I know their website says 98mm under foot, but is that for all skis or just the 185?  If so what would the widths be if the do change with length for the 178?

No need to get agitated.  I was just trying to confirm this because on some sites like backcountry.com, they list the waist as 96 when they base the side cut radius of the 178, and on other sites where the side cut radius is based of the 185, they list the waist is 98

so is it 171:94mm waist, 178: 96mm waist, 185: 98mm waist?  cause thats what some sites like evogear imply, but then some sites say 98
