They worked out great at pico on Saturday. Great in the woods, carved some nice turns on the groomed loose snow. We're even nice in the soft moguls. A little sketchy on the slicker skied off stuff at the top of the mountain but nothing too bad. Overall very fun. They definitely feel a bit more surfy than anything I've skied before but I really enjoy them. Probably gonna hit up plattekill with them this weekend

Swap out the bindings this summer and you can water ski on them. Seriously they look cool.
He's definitely set for pond skimming this spring...

Those are some sweet looking skis.

Was hoping to find some of the Orange axial 2 bindings for them but the black and white were way cheaper. I've got the Orange on the other skis.

From some skiing mag -
The Rise and Fall of Fatties
There’s mounting evidence that superfat powder pigs have had their day, and that slimmer widths are what’s really selling. According to industry figures, last year’s sales of skis wider than 110 mm remained well below their 2011–12 high. “There are still a lot of fat skis sitting on retailers’ walls from two and three years ago,” says Fischer’s Matt Berkowitz.
Skis with 80- to 90-mm waists remain the hottest sellers, and the fastest-growing segment is 101 to 110 mm.
Eastern skiers appear to be warming to 80-plus waists, while Western skiers gravitate to 100-plus waists for everyday use. Brands are beefing up on narrow offerings. Examples: Rossi’s redesigned Pursuit series (71 to 74 mm), Head’s all-new Instincts (74 to 82), Fischer’s Progressor series (73 to 75), and Blizzard’s new G-Power (a value-priced citizen racer, $799 with binding). Salomon adds a 75 and two 80s to its X-Drive series, and Nordica adds two new models (80Ti and 76Ca) to its carvy Fire Arrow line

You might as well mount bindings on a pair of snowboards.
