There's only been 2 days that I've skied in the PNW over the past few years, where I wish I had a bigger waisted ski than my 108 Legend XXL's. Those were heavy wet classic cascade cement or where the pow was upside down, aka heavier on top, or light breakable crust with lighter pow underneath. In that case, I saw folks on S7's and other 120ish waisted skis having a bitch of a time too. Only the fully rockered 140mm plus seemed to be surviving that type of snow.
I have a 98mm and 110 waisted quiver, and a pair of 79mm rock skis for the very early season stuff. Or if it hasn't snowed in weeks. But that never happens in the PNW....
