ROn as expected, you self answered the question with great intuition.....
Yes, hard charging on a crapped up, loose snow, get out of my way mid day run. After a few turns on the Mojo 90, I'll get a sense of what it feels like and hopefully we'll get some deeper snow as well.
After having skied the IM 77 in 21/2 feet of snow, I know I'll get more float with the 82's....my experience with the 82's to date have demonstrated their ability to perform in groomed snow conditions like a ripp'n GS ski, very stable at speeds, a blast in the bumps, which would indicate that the shovel and tail are not too stiff, and then some boot high powder and crud conditions and they were as compliant as a $500....well they did what they were asked to do.
Anyway....having skied the Rossi B4, 195 length and I think 95 at the waist, I know how well they loved to cruise the surface of the snow, very smooth, where patience on my part was key.
I'm looking forward again to trying an even wider board to see if there are advantages I can appreciate. I've skied my SS in boot high snow and usually don't find more than that unless your timing is perfect in Vermont on New Hampshire. Still, I've clearly seen the advantages with going wider....but finding the one is still the fun!
Factors like skis skills, weight and height, how agressive and terrain preffered are significant factors in making that decisoin. Will report back after I dance with these babies.....82 or 90, bad boy vs gentle giant.
