Great video and skiing as always, Bush.    You and Your crew are something else.

I have a gear question for you.  Let's say you got stuck in bounds at stowe and had to spend the afternoon skiing the cut up remains of 36 inches of snow...not seamless strands of unbroken woodsy powder (sigh): Do you still want the Rockered Rossis as the go to ski?  I know, you'll always be willing to go the extra mile to sniff out the powder...but it's not always something I can do.  For instance...

Yesterday we had a nice 16 inch storm to play in (yeah!), but I was scraping in the woods by 10:30 to sniff out the remaining unbroken lines (people are so hungry for powder right now they were like a pack of snow-eating piranhas...usually we get a few more hours on a weekday to soak up the powder), and by noon, I was playing in the deeper cut up crud piles for the next 5 hours.  Which was fun, too,I was just wondering about fat rockers and how they handle the chowder as well the powder (I still use a now near three year old nomad sft..same as your boy Eric as my all purpose soft snow tool...might get something new this spring to play with as well).  Something about those Icelantic Gysies gets me dreaming.  That Walrus is boss.
