I am confused then, I thought you wanted a ski for crud and pow? FWIW- the 82 has a 17.7R. What are you gaining with a 75 whe it gets deep and sloppy that a RX8 or SS can't handle? I thin you shoudl demo, don't let the 82 mm underfoot put you off, they are not ponderous, they are still quick and nimble.
