Pros and Cons for buying a 98mm underfoot ski or a 112mm underfoot ski if I want a buttery pow ski that totally destroys powder, and backcountry jumps and jibbing, but still can handle park and groomers when necessary.

Please help me out with this, thanks.

at 98mm it would be more of a wide park ski. I say no doubt go for the 112mm, that way you can slay the pow, and if its necessary you can still lap the park.

98mm
Pros - will feel more like a normal park ski if you're lapping the park
Cons - Very little flotation in the pow

112mm
Pros - Crazy fun in the pow, good for BC booters and whatnot, nice big solid underfoot for huge landings
Cons - May take a little while to get used to in the park

112 all the way
