Drills in a foot+ of powder? I'll be up floundering around in it and can text you. The only drill I'll be doing is yelling at myself to "stand up!"

The way this season is going, I will believe the snow totals when I see it. LOL If there is some powder stashes left on Thursday, I will explore, but I need to continue to fix some fundamental issues that constantly plague me.

No drills on a powder day!

We say that every time it's supposed to snow because yeah, we get skunked a lot! It's supposed to snow all day and into the evening tomorrow so I anticipate at the very least lots of soft snow and gates opening.

I was up today and I don't think any of the gates opened so tomorrow should be great.

Very late followup -- is the Santa Ana 84 the old Astral 84Ti?

I believe they are essentially the same ski, yes.
Looks like I'm getting a Stockli Laser SC to compliment my 88s (and 98s) next season. They are 72 under foot.

Thanks! I'm setting some end-of-season KSL alerts.
The Laser should be a fun ski! I've been having a lot of fun on my new 73 waist skis, and I think they're making me a better skier.

@floatingyardsale if you are looking at the 84 ti Astrals, I have a pair for sale in 165 cm, mounted for 25.5 boots. (I know a lot of stars would have to align for them to be the right fit for you, but sharing just in case!)

I saw that! 24.5 and I'm not sure on the length. My current skis are 165 @ 97 waist and 161 @ 73, but the fatter skis have rocker and the carvers don't and I think they ski longer.
I'm also not sure if the Astrals would be too much like the carvers and I want to get better at bumps and ungroomed next season, assuming we get snow. They seem to have a flattish tail unlike the wider Santa Ana.

They do have flattish tails. They have the Santa Ana front rocker, but not so much in the back. I am definitely not one to be able to advise on bump suitability. LOL. I hope you will find the just right thing!
