For Terryl's consideration:
Have heard and read good reviews for the women's Volkl Aura. Pretty wide waist. Don't love the graphics, but have heard two women skiers rave about it.
No personal experience. I want to demo these though.
Fischer Vision Zeal has good write ups as well. It's also on my demo list. Haven't experienced any real powder this year to warrant demoing a big, wide waisted ski.

Terryl, remember that as a smaller, lighter person, you do not need the kind of waist that Svend needs to float (in any sense of the word ). Others could more eloquently give the equivalent between men/womens ski widths at the waist and powder float.

Sorry Svend, couldn't help myself. You look quite svelte in the pics.
