Hey Jeff, I guess the only thing I can think of why the "no bumps" is the Titanium material in the ski. Maybe if banged hard in to the top or side of a bump, the tip could bend....not good! Has nothing to do with the width I'm sure unless you're a zipper line bump skier. I take my Im 82's into the bumps.

Having said that.....if you and I are skiing western rounded soft bumps, the big wide skis are manageable there.

Usually these western bumps, say the kind I like to ski, medium height on blue or black runs, would be soft and round enough to take your skis in there as long as you have speed and direction control. No wild pony rides on AC3's or you could be skiing a bent noodle!

At least that's my thought,

Gary
