nOtyRmOm123all mountains like 90-99 108 is a free ride ski. get a mindbender 99ti if u want it to rip and float. 108 wont carve for shit
Tannerhalscousinwhen i say all mountain i more so mean going fast on side hits and dropping cliffs and some pow here and there. also I will ski park on them so I'm not concerned about carving to much
nOtyRmOm123then i might go with the faction candide 4.0 good all mountain ski and still pretty jibby
Eightsails108 might be a tad too wide for east coast depending on snowfall. maybe something like a revolt 104 would suit you better? Also please don't mount Kartels center @iggyskier will commit seppuku if you do. Jeffrey 102 at recommended would also be a little more suitable perhaps.
EightsailsAlso do not get a 118 for east coast unless you're packing a bag to PNW or Japan please dear lord.

freewillieSecond this. Why would you center mount the kartels when you already have the wets for center mount activities
GrandThingsWhat you lose in edge control, you will gain in steeze.
108 would be a little wide for me, but if you can ride em, I say go for it. Wide skis look dope as long as you can actually handle them.
TannerhalscousinI’m used to it and I think it’s kinda nice to have a balanced ski in air and I’m not prioritizing carving, but I’m open to recommendations.
TannerhalscousinI Dailed my marksmans on east coast for 2 years so I’m used to a wide ski

SessionYou don't know what a freeride ski even is, and it's certainly not the simple metric of width that defines a freeride ski.

nOtyRmOm123homie..... I work at a shop. now granted not really a metric to rate what I "know" but technically blizzard classifies the rustler 9 as a freeride ski. it's an all-mountain ski. going off what I know from 90% of ski companies they lose a lot of torsional stiffness once u pass 104 underfoot, basically making it a free ride ski because those are meant for deep snow and hard landings not ripping on ice.

HypeBeastRecommending 104 but saying 108 is too wide. 4mm difference... We talking 2.4 pieces of spaghetti wide or 3.2 grains of sand extra width.
Op you're fine. Go for it if that's the ski you want. The whole width debate is one for the ages, and some of us haven't looked at a ruler in ages apparently.
