Yes Jim...my eyes failed me....twas Ron selling his Mags...my bad.

Hmmm 94's over the 84's..them there 84's will take you into the powder say boot/shin high with little to no work. I've just become a believer in the wider high performing skis like the Icelantic so it's hard for me to think about another ski. Keep in mind the 94 is much more pony underfoot and if you feel ya got the gitty up....could be a great ride and gap filler for those crud days up through knee high snow.

It might be more prudent to get to the point where you MAX OUT the performance capability of the 84 and then start looking for your next evolution in powder/crud skis. As far as size envy.....just don't look down....well....I mean ......at your feet......ski those 84's man...ride em hard and put em away wet......well dry them off and please wax them thank you.

As far as skis I purchased this ski season....hmmmm.... sold the Watea 84s bought the 94's sold them 15 minutes later and purchased the Pilgrims Icelantics after a 1/2 day demo, turned in my Head SS with a warrenty defect and purchased the Fischer P-8's. Awaiting a pair of Head Raptor LTD boots to fill the credit from Head. AND purchased 2 pairs of ski poles....and new helmet....and that's it. CORRECTION: WELL AS SVEND POINTED OUT....I DID BUY MY WIFE A PAIR OF KASTLE M78'S.....WHICH SHE DEMOED FOR 3 DAYS AT JACKSON HOLE THIS PAST JAN...EEK.....A LITTLE DEMO WILL DO YA! There all done now!

Best,
