Thank you for splitting my post out to a new thread and for the feedback. ?
The widest ski I've ever been on is the MX78. ?I added the Kastle RX12 this season (70mm) and want to get something for deeper powder days. ?I actually like the RX12 better in powder than the MX78, but so far it's mostly been light 5 to 10 inch powder days. ?I'm selling the 78s and just looking to add a ski for days when the powder is a little deeper. ?My days of hiking are behind me, but I've heard good things about the light, quick feel of the FX94 in the powder. ?I definitely will not be using it as an everyday ski.
I've worked with the same local shop (Sport Loft) in SLC for years. ?Their recommendations on equipment have been spot on, and they carry both the Ski Logik and Kastle. ?
The late engagement of the tips ... Is that just on groomed and light powder or is that in deeper powder (12+).
Additional background ... I'm 49 years old, spent most all of my 30s and 40s skiing with the kids and have just in the last few seasons gotten back out on my own, I'm skiing about 30 to 40 days a season, 5'10" and 160lbs. ?I'm sure I have some old, bad habits that I need to get rid of, but I'm having a great time all over the mountain ... I've been told I'm a solid 7 to 8, but I'm also really looking to get out with someone whose eye and ability to instruct is a lot more discerning. ?I had a lesson a few years ago at Park City, but It felt like the guy was more used to teaching beginners.
