Thanks guys.

I currently ski on Head SS (66mm) but wanted something a bit wider for some all-mountain versatility.

It sounds as if I stay under 85mm I should be right.

Maybe around high-70's would be ideal.

Thanks again.

Southpac:? That sounds like a good approach, but there are certainly even wider skis that handle bumps very well and skiers that wouldn't have any problem in a CSM camp with narrow carvers.? For example, I am sure that Gary (who is a pretty good skier) would not have a problem with either the Super Shapes he used to own or the current Fischer Progressors or his Icelantic Pilgrims.?

In hindsight I believe I would have been fine in the camp with the Watea 84's if that had been my only ski option.? I actually don't feel much difference between them and the Magnums (but that is a function of me the skier, not the skis), but I would not take SS's to camp.

I also heard that John Clendenin had said that the Head SS Magnums were his favorite bump ski, but this year he is skiing the Peak 78 (so width increases there as well). The Peak 78 (or the Kastle 78 or 84) would be options to consider.? just my humble opinion.
