formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.
You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
1. People like to ski powder.
2. Killington gets about 250" a year.
3. But the trails get skied out very fast.
4. So people ski in the trees.
5. Trees, especially EC trees, require lots of turning.
6. In soft snow fat skis are are easier to turn.
7. So people use fat skis.
QED
Lol... We don't actually have any problems at Magic, we just shut down the lift periodically to spread panic and fear as well as spraypaint fake rocks on blackline to scare away all the Joeys.
Don't tell anyone though. Then we might actually have to share some of that pow.
OK, fine, I guess. But, if they are Easterners, finding a deep day is about as rare to them as getting laid in a ski town ( for a guy). So, they bought this ski for their annual western trip, when they can easily rent the latest and greatest? Even then, odds are 50-50 they'll get skunked.
Eh, it's not for deep days, mostly the opposite. When you have 4 inches of snow on top of rocks and leaves, floating is GOOOD.
I feel like Benny is a troll but I'll bite. I used to ride at Jay Peak before I moved west for whiter pastures, but if I ever got super high on meth and decided moving back east was a good idea and started riding Jay again, I'd for sure have a ski over 110mm in a 2 ski quiver. Hell even if I could only have one ski, I'd probably stay around 110. Have you skied anything in that range? Some offerings carve remarkably well, and I will always ski primarily for powder. This issue is a no-brainer.
You're doing it wrong Benny.

You're doing it wrong Benny.
No but seriously, are you in your late 60's? When I busted my father-in-law's chops and made him get some S7's he fell in love. He's you're age near 70 and all his Benny friends all gave him shit. Like "Oh what you think you're 18?" and "Nice snowboards" Best part was three weeks later after seeing him run laps on their old asses they all bought S7's! Every last one of them! My point is you sound your age Grandpa Benny.
people sometimes forget how much fun railing super g turns down groomers are, but they probably already have skis for that... hence they buy new skis for their quiver
Its not that I suck at spelling, its that I just don't care
For fucks sake, read people. I have a fat ski. But it's 160 in length. Trees are tight in Vermont.
^^^ Benny I saw some older gent in the woods at big K on sat on 160s he was mabye 4 foot 11 was that you?
Nope. ......

Sorry about that little chick stick hanging below your belt. Now you have to compensate with a big fat ski in the wrong place. Probably the whole moral of this thread. Betcha drive a big bad pickup truck, too.
How did you know
why the hell did you buy Full Tilts?!? Hoping to get them to 85% sounds like an awful goal.
Helldorados are most likely a sick east coast ski. Definitely not a sick pow ski though.
bumps are for poor people
They look good with his skis and shorts:
I'll bet 160's are great in Killington trees if your style is to ride the tails and come to a complete stop on every turn. You need a ski lesson AND a trolling lesson. Then you can enjoy the fact that the Easct Coast is currently skiing like this:
AND be a dick in a way that makes you feel good about yourself.
^^^^^ Not my pic, Eeyor, just one of dozens of similar shots from the last couple weeks in the EC Roll call. Meanwhile, you're talking about all the ice you ski, and how you know Ktown like the back of your hand. So, yeah, your missing something. Here's a new avatar for you:
