Now that all the information is out on this year's ski models, it is evident that the fat ski craze continues. There are more and more all mountain skis in the 80mm+ under foot category.

So the question to the people that are getting new gear for this season. How fat are you willing to go with your every-day East Coast skis?

I ski on last year's K2 Public Enemy skis which are 80mm under foot. I love them and I think they do everything very well, even on the east coast, but wouldn't want to go much fatter for my primary EC ski. The new ones are 85mm under foot.
