What is the widest ski in your quiver?

My fattest skis are a pair of Kartel 108s and I'm debating whether or not it is worth it to pickup something fatter (115+) due to me skiing the the front range of Colorado. That being said, what is the fattest ski you guys rock and how do you like em?

Mine clocks in at 111, a pair of 194 4frnt Devastators, great fun in almost all conditions but my PB&Js are my day to day ski.

LazylightningGlad to hear you like em! They look fun as fuck


I think they would work awesome for the front range as a second ski to a 98-100ish waisted ski, I used them at wolf creek and they felt pretty much perfect would take a couple days to get fully used to the width but day one on them they felt legit

Widest in the quiver is k2 pon2oons, 132mm underfoot. On the right day there’s nothing like them.

widest thats regularly used is the Vision 118.

CatdickBojanglesHellbents the OGs at 122 underfoot.


Im disappointed in the ski industry for not making more hellbent-like skis. K2's come close since then but those OG hellbents are the best skis ive ever ridden.

Currently 112 Deathwishes, but I used to have BC120s that I loved dearly. I'm probably going to get another fat boy this year. Maybe Line Pescado

Currently 118, with the OG Blackops 118. Probably gonna snag the new Reckoner 122 at the end of the season though. OP, you can't go wrong with the BO if you like to charge. Fantastic ski, just heavy as shit.

Yup. They ride great there. You just need a fairly centred stance in deep stuff. If riding switch doesn't really matter, I could see putting them back a cm or two.

Bent Chetler 120, the last one before Atomic lightened it up. Prob gonna offload it this season. Heavy af and handles like a boat (trucks over chop like a mf’er tho). Think I’ll survive the occasional super deep inbounds days with my 106/8s.
