Michael, having owned and skied my IM82 on groomed, high speed, slow speed, bumps and boot high, I got a good feel for the ski and enjoyed it's strenghts and adjusted for it's one weakness....hardpac k.

SInce I have not skied the 84 Watea...can you recollect any significant differences?

I'm aniticipating the 84 will arc easier, float a bit better, release from turns easier....the turning radius is about the same on both.

YOur thoughts?

Gary

Hi Gary,

I've used the Monster 88 on packed-powder and crud, so I've never felt a lack of edge-grip. Bullet-proof ice is difficult for all skis IMO.

I would say the Watea provides about 90% of the edge-grip of the RX8. The construction & feel is very similar. Keep in mind that the Watea is a new model and Fischer may have found some enhancements since the RX series originated. This should compensate for the added width of these models.

It's safe to think of the Watea as a wider RX ski.

Hope that helped.

Michael
