Just to add a bit more fuel to the building inferno.? The following is from Peter responding to my request to compare the Watea 84 and Ullr's Chariot.? John, remember that Peter and I are both one size shorter than you are.? Sounds like he plans to put some of his money on a new pair.  For sale!  1 pair of Watea 84's.   

The Chariot is definitely more versatile overall. In fact, and I'm going from memory here--I skied them for a day last April--I would go as far as to suggest they out carve the 84 except on actual New England ice. We skied on a day at Solitude in which we encountered everything possible, from frozen morning crust to late afternoon almost-slush with nary a balk or problem.

FWIW, my plan is to make the Chariot the "other" ski to complement my 4X4's.
