I am going to have to repsectfully agree with you on this one. From what I read, it was description of what he liked in powder skiing. I don't see anything wrong with skiing on wider skis if you enjoy skimming vs. diving and rising. Its a matter of preference to me. Skill has a lot to do with it as well as size. One of the instructors up at The Beav I have skied with for 3 seasons is about 5' 5" about 140, he skis in all terrain on his Dynastar course skis. It doesn't matter if there's 18" of powder, he skis it like it was cordoroy. That's a combination of skill (he's a level 3 instructor) and his size. I doubt that a 6' 225 pounder is going to have the same result on the same ski with a foot of freshies. HH devotee's don't get pissed, please?
