congrats Jim!  That sounds great. Right tool for the job.....  Speaking Howitzer- a 110 wide ski intended for pow and soft snow does not need to have a 15m TR (theoretical), you are not hard edging turns in powder, you are soft edging the turns so a SR ski is actually working against you; it requires more effort and attention to the turns as opposed to a wider consistent width that will distribute force and float along the entire ski with a taper to the tail for easier release (like a Benny with 140-123-135), meaning easy, less effort to accomplish the same turn.....  the howitzer does look great BTW!!  I think you wil love your ski!!  Can't wait to see the pics.
