I don’t see Blister doing that in the article. Sort of. They include fresh snow/soft snow, for which they go wide. It’s kind of silly to go straight to soft snow, but that's what they do. Just can’t help themselves. Hey, at least they included the narrow.
For groomer/piste they have 78,80 widths little rocker. Don’t think K2 makes a ski without rocker.
So young males, rad girls, will all go wide. We know that. It’s dumb, but plenty people will argue it’s not. Stand by.

Lol. That is not a beginner. Liberty 101 skis.
Edit-
@silverback , I think you referenced the wrong article. It’s this one-
Whether you're new to the sport of skiing, getting back into it, or otherwise looking for advice on how to buy skis, start here.
blisterreview.com
Then you’re correct in your assessment it seems.

Hey, you too can ski like that if you just buy the right skis.
People should learn on skis that don’t extend outside the boot edge. I.e., less than 84 probably. But if one just wants to slash and burn, wide rockered work well for the bros.
