Jim, I posted something similar to Brendan, but the 82 and the mojo90 are two different skis all together. This is not a knock at all to the 82, its a different animal. The 82 is truly more race oriented, Sandwich construction, stiff, a fantastic carver, stable, super damp but with more energy than the 77. The Mojo90 is light underfoot, super nimble, good energy and pop. Much softer, especially in the tips. Overall, Its a very easy and forgiving ski that really thrives in the soft snow. The 82 will handle powder and soft snow just fine, no problems, but the Mojo give much better float (not surfing) and maneuverability. fantastic ski in the soft bumps, just a fun all-around ski. I was telling Gary, its so much easier to ski than a SS. You don't have to stay on it and you can just stand on them and let them ride if you need a break! Much like a cadillac vs. a ferarri.
If I could ski all the time I would have a SS, the new 78 or 82, a mojo and a 88. I see uses for all of them. Micheal Barrett was right, he told me if I bought the 88, I would love it but still want a true soft snow ski. I now understand what he was saying. To sum it up, the mojo is just fun.
I have to say that I was really wrong about "fat" skis, they are awesome. Easy to ski but with some skills, they are really fun and deliver great performance. Interestingly, I have much less knee pain skiing on them.
