Yeah,
I am still: more committed to that Dissenter 78, more days on it over time, among other skis (though FIS race skis even more so).
But it ain't a soft snow ski, so much. Lots of skis to like.
'Speaking of Bode skis, I had the Peak 104 out for the first time yesterday, and at least for now, it's likely to be a winner also.
And maybe complementary competition for the CT 2.0 102, though each is distinctly different but good, I am hoping.
Up to now, I've been mostly using Blizzard Bonafide and K2 Mindbender 99 for "a few inches plus a bit" on soft snow days.
But I've gotten sick of how the MB99 is prone to chatter, for me, once the slope is older and harder;
and even though I'm likely to jump to the Black Ops 118 in any 4" plus powder,
it will be nice to have the Peak 104 and now maybe the CT 2.0 102 for that "shallow soft snow" slot - a bit more variety possible.
I get something like 35 to 45 soft snow days a season, on average, maybe around 15 to 20 of them shallow enough; so lots of days to tinker.
(Each of these skis is distinctly different, like favorite people somewhat.)
