going to school at msu bozeman next year and wondering what ppl recommend for bbowl and the best ski to ride for the whole season. I was thinking a 105 or 108 but I wanted to hear from others. TIA

The difference between 102 and 111 is barely noticable, pick a ski that is good at skiing in all conditions, not necessarily just focusing on width. If you're just trying to pick a size in a certain ski you already know you want, I'm a fan of the 108 not too wide not too skinny.

Could just be me but I disagree, I wouldn’t want to ride below a 108 to stomp landings off piste...I feel I notice a huge difference in 9mm but like I said could just be me

What skis you looking at? I just got off my first season at Bridger so I have an idea of the terrain and could point you in the direction of some new sticks

I ski Big Sky and am getting a pair of Icelantic Nomad 105 Lites (105 underfoot). Like the above comment stated, just get something in the 98-120 range, whatever you are comfortable with. I'd say right in the middle of that range is fine for out here.
