Ahh yes, the anti fat-ski brigade
no , really, fat skis are simply awesome, fantastic, fun and just plain better in powder and soft snow and remember this ESPECIALLY with PMTS or modern skills. What got me hooked is when I skied with two snowboarders this Christmas in powder. The boarders we so graceful and could easily handle the pow. Fat skis are not evil and they wont and don't make you a bad skier. Using good technique just akes them even more fun. Floating throught he pow, turning on a dime, yes, a dime with little effort, is just palin fun folks, just fun. Terrain that I had skied with SS's and they are still the greatest front-side ski IMHO, and then skiing the same with my my MOJO90's was so different. The SS's were just fine, but the MOJO's were so much more fun and more ease. I realized after a couple of hours how muc less effort I used to ski over the SS's. However, on the hard-pack day, the SS's would have been that much more fun than the MOJO's. Yes, its technique in the end and not the ski folks, just like when in the off-season, I shoot Sporting Clays, and the mantra there is "its not the gun, its the shooter". Same thing, much different sport. OK, so here's the final summary, right tool for the right job. Have a well-equiped tool box of techniques and ski's and have fun dammit! I would agree that many of the skiers on fat-skis have limited skills but that doesn't make the ski bad; and fat skis don't make skiing less enjoyable, in fact, its the right tool for powder!
