I have spent the Majority of time skiing off the lifts this year on 65mm Fisher WC SL skis and my 87 Blizzard Mag 8.7 mm ski. We simply do not have the terrain open for the fatter rockered skis yet. Last year I used my 98mm "the one" nearly everyday. part of my reason for not using them is their edges are just shot and can not be sharpened anymore.

With that said I have skinned up and skied some sweet powder runs that are still un open to the public/ sadly solo missions so no pictures trying to convince people to get up at 5 am to go ski a run or 2 in brutally cold air is tough to do.

I tell people fat skis carve well enough that I can still outski 99 percent of the population in a nastar course on 100mm skis. At least with edges.
