Re: Technique and Wider Skis

I hate to breakup this debate about the ski width, but I'm surprised no one mentioned the possible cause for the ski technique problem as being attributed to a different mount position and/or binding delta.  I have all my skis "dialed in" for the same deltas and mount positions (in relation to the BoF and effective edge).  It's very possible that the mount position or change in delta on the Kastle MX88 is adversely affecting the OP's skiing when on those larger skis.  I would suggest investigating these issues more closely.

I regularly bounce between 66m, 76mm, 92mm, and 112mm skis.  Anything sub-100mm underfoot feels just fine to me for tipping movements and I don't feel like my skiing degrades in any way other than the expected slowness going from edge-to-edge as the ski gets wider.
