I enjoy having a daily driver- a ski that I ski every day, in all conditions.  Last year it was a Fischer Watea 101.  I did a pre-order last Spring for a 192 Atomic Atlas.  They showed up today.  I haven't skied them, but made my choice on the recommendation of a friend in the shop.

@ 150-125-132 r28... I can't wait to take it out.  This will be the fattest ski I've ever skied.  Also, the forefoot early rise will be great for those days.

Blaze is chomping at the bit for the 169 Pontoon...

However he will be very lucky to have a 166 Czar.  His 161 Salomon Suspect @ 85 underfoot is a little narrow for pow days.

Maybe a Rossi Voodoo Pro in a 159 or 166.  He needs a fat pow ski.  The Czar is 105 underfoot with a forefoot rocker.  As a (wood???) cap ski- is light and strong.  And inexpensive.
