IMO....skiing on skis 98 underfoot up to 115 underfoot (my experience so far to date) is that it's "JUST FUN"!.

Given a variety of conditions I can find at Vail, Banff, JH, Alta that can vary from morning sunrise to sunset, the wider skis just make skiing for me less energy draining. A few years back at Snowmass I skied knee high snow on my Head 77's underfoot and just had a ball...it was blower snow...that was plenty of ski for that inbounds snow..but it was THE perfect snow conditions day. I think I've really only had a couple of ski days in my skiing career where the snow was THAT GOOD!

Today, I find that the wider skis for the conditions I USE THEM IN, can be totally playful and more versatile.

AGAIN I pretty much only bring out the fat boys only when the snow is ABOVE the boot.
Best,
G
