Narrowest Twin-Tip (Park) Ski?

So in the NSG I was checkin' out the "what was your first pair of skis" thread, and some of those older twintip skis have really narrow waists / really tight sidecuts, and look really excellent for carving groomers as well as hitting the park. Does anything like that even exist now? Everything seems pretty dang fat.

The only thing that comes to mind would be the Armada Triumph...

79 is narrow, I suppose any ski labeled a "pipe ski" would be narrowest, correct?

Whatever Dynastar is calling the Troublemaker now; 78mm waist, pretty much unchanged since 2004, and still one of the best skiing park skis.

there are a lot of park skis in the mid 80s underfoot. I dont know why you would want to go narrower.

no the piste jibs, theyre do have some rocker and are wider than the troubles. maybe the troubles have more actual edge hold, but i can rail fast carves down on my praxis's much better. meh maybe it wasnt the best comparison. I do really want the pipelines to replace my troublemakers since i have them only in a 175 though. 181 would be perfect and im sure theyd be awesome skis, cant really justify buying a new pair of pipe skis though.
