Ok Mr. B....Since you're coming off "loving the groomers" and wanting to ski more back side....

Hang with the 77's for a season or two...You can find plenty of front side stuff that's cruded up or piled up to hone your skills for handling the back side. I also had the 77's (well the chip version) and came up the same way JB did, from the 75's.

Learn to handle the increase width on front side crud, ski the edges where the granular 6'8" get's pushed. As you skills improve and you're ready to tackle more terrain, you could move up to the 82's or 88's with your body weight.

Grab th 77's if the deal is sweet and enjoy a fine verstile ski that you can grow in to.

Best,
Gary
