Wait till you're about to leave the house and look at the forecast before deciding? Otherwise the question is impossible to answer (and that's ignoring that waist width doesn't tell you everything about a ski's characteristics)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Can't you get 2 pairs in your ski bag?

Yes actually that’s a good idea to check (do that for alps) and yes that’s another thought to take two pairs. We were caught out in Whistler and didn’t appreciate before we left exactly how impressive their inbounds ski area was in terms of “off piste skiing” stuff we’d use avy gear for. It was like a playground. I had heard Banff was slightly different in that it was dryer and unless you were skiing super expert terrain got tracked out quickly

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

If you're bringing 2 pair (which I would), then bring the 88 and 102. If you can only bring one, I'd go with the 96.
I believe all ski hills get tracked out quickly these days. But at least the dry stuff doesn't pack into hard lumps...

Happy on my 90mm in all conditions - so I'd go with either the 88 or 96 if one pair - TOLOCOMAN, suggestion is good advice, if able to take a couple of pairs.
Will be out that way this season again, mid Feb through to mid March

Last Feb I took the faction skis, I think they’re 90mm. They were too wide if anything because it hadn’t snowed for 2 weeks before or even during our stay. I spent the 10 days wishing I’d just taken the piste bashers.
Did quite a bit of the double black stuff on offer but it was crusty as……
This year going in April so be good to see if that makes any difference snow wise.

Last year was one of our worst snow years ever. Off to a much better start this year.
But for someone that is wanting to ski off piste, I still wouldn't recommend a ski much under 90mm no matter how long it has been without snow.
