Glenn....and like Jbotti...I ski my carvers, Head Super Shapes 165 length on everyting up to 6-10" of snow and then go to one of my favorite mid fats ever, the Fischer Water 84. This ski actually can be skied in all conditions, quick edge to edge, floats, carves, bumps, trees and can be carved on the groomers.

Me...I'm 5'81'2, 155 lbs and ski the Watea in a 176 length. I've also had the IM82 and find the Watea much more versatile.

If you get a chance, demo it in some Vermont spring snow. Try the 176 length and have them move the binding forward 1centimeter before demoing. At our size and weight, I think it makes it easier to get maximum performance from skiing this ski from a centered stance.

I find these 2 skis set up in this manner give me maximum coverage for most snow conditions.

Best,
Gary
