Thanks all for the responses. I wasn't quite expecting to get any responses. I gots a pair of 6*s en route. Little more than my ideal price but still within the acceptable range. Look for me ripping the groomers this season, yea baby~!!!! :lol:

Snagged a used pair of 8000s on the cheap too. I break a pair every year but for $120, why the heck not considering one of my skis has a blown out edge. Yes, this means that the mismatched 8000s will be retired after only half a seasons' use. But that means I have one single ski on back up duty for the next time I split a ski, blow a sidewall, or blow out an edge.

:beer:

Damn, I am such a gear whore. But I know have nearly the perfect quiver: Groomer Ripper, mid-fat, fat in alpine and mid-fat and fat in touring. Ideally, my alpine mid-fat would be 85ish and my fat would be 100ish which are both +~5cm compared to current. But I am sure I will get there eventually. :lol: 94 underfoot is perfect max for BC touring. Larger would add weight for touring and compromise the multi-use of a ski needed for various east coast BC need. I know many would disagree. But that is my take.

Congrats Steve!

Nothing with rocker ;), and it's all a little skinny (as you note).
Yea, that is true. I am not sure if I am ready to jump on the rocker band wagon yet. I want to try before I buy in that realm as I am distrustful of it as a versitle enough option. But given it fits the bill, that would be included on the +100 Atua replacemement eventually as fat alpine is the only place in a quiver that I think rocker makes sense for the skiing that I do.
