Is 120 underfoot too wide for the East?

I picked up a pair of K2 Pettitors at a price that was too good to pass up. I will be skiing 80% of the time in the East. The majority of it in Ontario where we have fairly small hills. Throw in a trip or two to Vermont and Quebec and one trip out West. I know they'll be gold when I go out West. Just wondering about me using them as an everyday ski locally. Reviews seem to say they are fine on groomers. No park skiing for me. Thought? Thanks.

Is this the only setup you got? If so I'd rock em till you get the money for something like K2 recoils or anything with a smaller waist.

Yup it's all I got right now. Also I can't get as many days in as I want anymore. Maybe 10 days a year. As long as I can have some fun and blast through anything I'll be happy.

You'll have a great time, ski size is all personal preference. There may be an adjustment periode at first, but you'll get the feel for a wider ski. I just picked up 09/10 bents as my east coast park ski.

Just keep the edges nice and sharp and you'll be fine.

It'll make you that much better of a skier plus you'll look like a boss if you rock em in the park
All times are Eastern (-4)
