Yes, buy fat skis. Now. On those epic days it does make a big difference. You will be amazed what "surfing" pow really means. Sure they won't be in use that often, but when the conditions allow it its a blast.

Brakes only matter if you fall.

Yes, it definitely makes a difference on deep days, especially when you hit lower angle pow on run outs, but also more fun on the steep and deep. For reference I have some 122 Noctas. You don't need to go up to 120+ but it's definitely noticeable once you get over 115 or so.

I would use footrests but my legs are too long.

Just curious. My feet actually don’t hurt when I ski. Also, foot rests are generally in conjunction with a safety bar and I’m usually not worried about falling off a chair. YMMV.
edit: don’t get me wrong. I definitely lower the safety bar every single lap when I’m skiing with my 5 year old, and I have no problem lowering it if I’m riding with strangers who feel more comfortable with it down. But I still don’t really use the foot rest part.

I demo'd the Bent Chetler 120's a number of years ago on a non-pow slushy spring day and they were a ton of fun even without any fresh snow. I'd say go for it, the bigger the better.

The foot rest more had to do with the weight of the skis on the knees, pulling down from hanging off the chair, as my feet don’t bother me skiing. Super goats with pivot 18’s are crazy heavy and rule inbounds. I have other big heavy skis and some skinny super heavies and the weight gets annoying by the top of the lift. On the down they truck and I don’t notice the weight as a negative.
