Surely satire?
What actually constitutes a fat ski these days anyway? Just like waist sizes the average seems to be bigger than ever.

The real reason to banish it is that its so broad a church as to be meaningless. The original mass market "fat" skis were the Pocket Rockets at a stupendous 90mm wide. Nowadays that's in piste biased all mountain range while true powder skis are 30mm wider or more.
Sorry for the boring answer the clear answer is just to rename them generously upholstered skis.

Im noticing the Germanism "thick" evolving as a more acceptable version of the F word...
|
|
|
|
|

|

Reminds me of "As thick as two short planks", which was a subtitute for the hard of thinking.
The first fat skis I tried were Head Monster 88's, and I received comments along the lines of "You're skiing on piste with those", the next were K2 Comback 101's
I would now substitue "Powder" for "Fat"

@shiva_71, Thicc seems to be in common use stateside these days, mainly, AFAICT, referring to Hugh Jarse and his friends, and in a positive way, which frankly baffles me. Still, each to their own, I guess.

Surely, the appropriate term is "lardy skis"
I'm not sure the other term "tradditionally built" would work for skis

I've been waiting for some pedant to actually point out that "Fat skis" is actually 2 words.........

They were a bit of a fad really. Fun to ride for a little while, but ultimately pretty pointless unless you’re riding sand or snow regularly. They’ll probably just die out in general mountain biking.

Should e-bikes be renamed as 'fat bikes'?

No, perhaps E-bikes should be renamed gay bikes for the un-woke amongst us!  (despite them being a very good idea)

Batt-bikes maybe?
If my Prince Fatty albums get renamed as just Prince albums it's going to cause all kinds of confusion in the record collection
