Interesting how most people here think a "78" is a better choice for most than an "88" but 88's outsell 78's by a big margin. I have been trying to sell these like new Cheyenne's for what seems cheap but no takers. I bet the 88 version "Black Pearl" would be gone. https://www.pugski.com/threads/2016-blizzard-cheyenne-like-black-pearl-78-170cm.13705/
Like Tim Petrick said in his letter to the industry some yeas ago, People tend to buy skis for the snow that they want to ski, not the snow that they will be skiing.
I see it all the time: Dudebro buys something 100+ underfoot, tech binding, tech boot, spends 90% of his time skiing inbounds, on-piste.
Are you getting that info on width from SIA / NPD Group?
