And it won't be soon enough......

Greg, sorry you can't join the RS crew, hopefully next year.

Greg, I know you mentioned the 88's, but Ron and I were looking at the new fatties tested here. I think I would seriously consider the Dynastar Legend Mythic Rider (love the graphics) and the Fischer Watea 94. Both got great reviews and could be better choices over the 88's.

I personally find at my body weight the 82mm width plenty of ski for up to knee up powder when fortunate enough to get it. I had a pair of Head 77 Chips I skied in knee high and felt a wee more width would be benefical. The 82's a way more verstaile ski than the 77's were.  I do like the above mentioned ski reviews and if you're thinking 88mm under foot, you might gives those 2 skis some thought.

Best,
Gary
