If you want a really stable ski try a ~190 27m GS ski. That's what I race and demo on... maybe not practical for most skiing, but you'll be hard put to find a more stable non-speed ski. My 206 SG's own...

As Max said, wide skis are more stable when the conditions are variable. Fair enough I guess as some of the most stable all-mountain skis I own are 180cm Rossi CX80s - lots [seriously a shitload] of edge there.

BUT, and this is the catch..... it is about how much edge can be put on the snow. That has a huge impact on stability. Think about what rocker and early rise do to this equation... Why do you think we [as in the skiers you want to ski like] still ski on traditional camber skis?

Someone had to say it.

If I need to explain it...
All-Mountain: A common descriptive term for boots or skis that are designed to perform equally poorly under a variety of conditions and over many different types of terrain.
