Take the Magnums, because you (or your son) may get tired of fighting all of that powder and decide to stick with groomed slopes.? The Magnums will handle the powder on the trails once it gets skied up a bit, they won't do well off-piste in that much untracked fresh snow. ?
2. I like Svend's idea of trying to call ahead and reserve something.? Mythic Riders (88mm) and Dynastar 8000's are commonly available rental (or demo) skis, I also saw Watea 94's in lots of places in Utah (94mm).? There may even be ski rental places at the airport, but you should be ahead of the weekend crowd so shouldn't have trouble finding rental/demo skis.? Even normal rental shops often have "performance skis" that are recognizable models, even though higher priced.

3. Sure hope you have a 4-wheel drive rental.

Observation -- This year it seems to only dump snow when a RealSkier is headed west.? Someone must have a connection, cause all of us have hit 15" plus snowfalls.? Pretty amazing in a year that really hasn't been a huge snow year.

I didn't really read this did I????

Perry, bring whatever but you need to ski pow with rentals!? With a dump like that, you should be on something about 95-110 underfoot, a easy choice is a K2 Obsethed Partial rocker, still very doable on the soft groomed. It makes skiing powder effortless so you are not tired and can ski as much pow as you can find!? What's your weigth and height? A mythic is too stiff for real powder skiing (its a great ski though) anf the 8K is too skinny. Think soft and easy flexing.
