Two ski quiver

[Birdman829]

Go fatter. You're going to be in the snow belt of New England next year. Think of this way: Does it make sense for someone in summit county CO to get a ski with around a 100mm waist? From the sounds of what I've heard here it makes perfect sense, but you know what? Jay Peak, Stowe, Smuggs, and Bolton all get just as much snow or more than those places, sure we get rain, but we also get epic dumps.

(warning random, stupid, rambling to come)

Also if you are skiing tight trees with 1 to 2 ft. of snow(which isn't that uncommon when you get 50+ days in northern vermont) which ski is going to be quicker a skinnier ski that sinks 18 inches in or a fatter ski that only sinks a foot, obviously the ski that sinks less. Fatter skis makes it easier to make quicker turns in deep snow because you will sink less, which you need in tight trees. But also another concern is the weight, so try to find a ski that is fat but doesn't weight much because jump turns will be terrible if the ski is too heavy. From what I've read it seems like the 179 PMgear Bro would be the ultimate ice coast powder ski.

I really don't want to get too much fatter than 90-95 or so. 100 would be the ABSOLUTE max. My target is 85-90 but if I see something else for cheap, I'll jump on it.
