Replying to Automatic 109 vs 102

Looking to add either one of the skis. Just looking for some basic insight into both. My main concern with concern with 109 is hard snow performance (I get this is not the intended use). For the 102 my concern is how well it performs in fresh snow versus the 109, and is the hard snow performance worth the trade off.

To add some background I am going to be using the skis up in Jackson this winter for a couple weeks. I will be skiing inbounds the whole time.
