Dave, I never ski anything but slalom carvers on groomed terrain. When it snows I break out fat powder skis. I personally see little need for mid fat skis. I think that you can make a case that at a place like squaw on an 8" powder day, The IM 82 (and other skis like it) may be the perfect ski to go all over the mountain (with chop, crud and moguls and an occasional stash of untracked later in the day). Having said that, I can have just as much fun on the same terrain with my Head Super Shapes in those same conditions and have a lot more fun on the groomed terrain heading for the lift. Unless you have unlimited budget or budget for only one pair of skis (and you ski at places that get alot of fresh snow) midfats don't make a lot of sense IMHO.?
