no worries, just wondering, BTW- even with 122 underfoot and a 20/40 rocker, I ski in the snow as well, this is a common misperception of how wider skis actually work. They just don't dive down and require less effort - less torque on the knees and body but the picture on the left is me on 111 underfoot. Obviously, I am not on top of the snow.  It's a more quiet and relaxing way to ski. They actaully allow you to ski on terrain that is not as steep (known as low angle pow) so when there's a lot of stuff untouched, you can get in at it.  As always, you should ski on what you prefer. FWIW- I will be skiing on 84 underfoot after Christmas if there's no pow. Right tools for the right terrain. This is not the forum for such discussions so no worries. Enjoy!
