What actually is the best West/Canada daily ski width?

I'm from Australia. I'm dumb. Idk what conditions are actually like day to day. My question is therefore: what actually is the best width for your daily west coast/canada ski? I'm keen on the declivitys which means I can go a 102 or a 108. Which of these would be a better bet on the (hopeful) chance I make it over this january-february for a few weeks?

This is the right range for a daily driver out west, either would be fine.
If you have a bit of extra cash for a second pair of dedicated pow ski for deep days you could go 102, if it's going to be your only pair definitely 108.

For reference my quivers average width is 113 but that got two pow skis that are 115+ but my daily’s are 108, great for pre much anything

If we're talking BC then you'll want 108, but either is fine.

i skied 116's in all conditions in bc last season and they were fine. obviously not the best for carving groomers or park but i still had tons of fun; deep days were prime. i think you would be fine with anything 104-110. IMO skiing pow on skis between 110-120 there is almost no difference.

After skiing both widths of the declivitys, they actually differ quite a bit in how they ski. The 102 feels more like a front side ski where as the 108 really feels like a big mtn charger that still has plenty of rocker for deeper days. I'm on the 108 now and am absolutely loving it, probably my favorite in that new-wave Ti big mtn category (like enforcers, mindbenders, dictators, etc)

My daily in Tahoe was a 107 underfoot solid bamboo core with carbon fiber and generous tip and tail rocker. Worked great.
So based on what you said and what everyone else is saying - the 108
