Great overview, the only caveat is that there are two very different types of Ski in the narrow category. Balls to the walls bone breaking race carvers and wet noodle foam core beginner skis, that have to be narrow, because the construction is not strong enough to support larger width.

I'm a shop owner in the East. You provide a very good analysis. I especially appreciate your plug at the end to support your local shop. If everyone bought on the internet, we won't be here to do that base patch you need or find a solution to your bad fitting boots.

Wow! I feel like I finally understand ski design a little better now. This information will be very helpful when shopping for my next set of skis. Thanks for doing this video.
-
Thank you! This was the best video I've seen to explain to me the meaning and experience of wider skis in relation to my ski experience level.
-
One of the best videos i've seen on the topic. Understandable and relevant to me in Oregon. Helped me understand why I enjoy my current skis so much, and also their occasional "limitations." Good insight on directions I might want to head when updating.
-
I love that you talk about the differences between regions. Too many guides and reviews don't take this into account.
-
Awesome video. i've skied a few times now, but never understood the construction of a ski. this has made perfect sense and will help me move forward. THANK YOU!! 👍😃

This is such an amazing video and channel that I just discovered. Thank you so much!

Thank you all for these great tutorial videos it helps us beginners a whole lot when we do our research

70+ here. This is the best review I have heard in my life. My longish 88's work great in piste up to knee deep powder and great in the trees. Congrats !

Thanks so much for this video and really all of your great content. I Patrol on the East Coast re lots of groomed and hardpack but at the same time would love to have those wider skis for the occasions that I get to ski that broader terrain.

I snowboard and my wife is looking to buy a new more aggressive ski but it's only her second season. This help a lot thank you

Great video! I have Stormrider 105s and love them on groomers and in deeper stuff. I also have Laser ARs for my groomer zoomers. Both a TONS of fun! Don't shy away from something that may be a little different than what you may consider. Just make sure whatever you get provides YOU with the fun you want!

OMG! I have watched so many ski review videos and this is among the best. congratulations on being concise and bringing an appropriate level of drama to the production/progression process. If I had a ski factory or a ski shop I would be offering you top dollar to work for me. You are extremely talented and I am enjoying these reviews so much. Thank you.

That Blizzard Brahma 88 with True Blend Wood Core is my everyday driver in New England. Love the feel and flex from the True Blend in the 171 cm length for my 5’5” 145 lb. when I am skiing at Alta, UT the Nordica Enforcer 100 has been my everyday driver for 6 seasons. The Volkl 100 eight with full rocker and wood core has been my go to ski for those deep Alta powder days.

Wow! Wish I had this when I was trying and buying skis in 2020. Very clear explanation. I love powder and bumps, but moved East from CA and may have made the "All Mountain" mistake. I purchased Kenjas, which I love in the right conditions, but of course I'm mostly on icy packed powder these days. I didn't understand why I was working harder to hold an edge through the turn — not as easy as my old Atomics. Thought it was just me. I'm off to try a some narrower options to see how it goes. Thank you!

Super high quality!! You could make a series where you review skis you demo or other tech.
-
With such high quality content it blows me mind how few views this channel has. Keep up the great work!

I personally ride some armada arv 116s and they are an awesome ski. Super flexible, a ton of camber and front and tail rocker. They shred powder awesome, ride park and do rails great. And surprisingly handle ice and moguls very well. Also the control on them on groomers is awesome considering how wide the ski is.
