I keep records of how many powder days I get, and how many "old snow days" also:
with averages of around 100 days a season if I'm uninjured,
consistently about a third of my days are soft snow powder/chop/crud days each season.
About a third of my skis are soft snow skis, of one sort or another.
(I didn't plan this out, it just happened over time.)
I think maybe a lot of folks really into skiing have something similar happen,
which means a lot of wider, soft snow skis make people's quivers appropriately.
