How are the 96's gonna handle in fresh snow, do all widths share the same rocker profile or do the 96's have more effective edge? We have been having a lot of weird weather cycles that end up with pow on ice, and that end's up with doing a lot of pocket hunting trying to find areas of enough wind deposited snow that gets you above the ice, but still requires a lot of edge hold on ice when you are searching for those zones, so the Jeffs and Wrens can be a bit unruly on the ice but the extra float is welcome when I find those pockets. I do love skiing bumps and the narrower choice seems to make sense there too, but I'd also have to go custom to get the 96 (not that I haven't been considering customs anyway) and would be more expensive.
TBH the main reason I want another pair of ON3P's is durability, but I'm also considering the 4FRNT MSP 99 and Moment Commander 98, and Wildcat 101 to be my low tide ski. Blister seemed to love how versatile and agreeable the MSP 99 was and I've always been interested in Moment's offerings, but my biggest consideration when buying a ski is durability so It's hard to stray from ON3P since they have really proven themselves with the abuse I've dished out to my Jeffs and Wrens, but I am also craving some variety and the Woodsman is just a variation of skis that I already know (but love to ski)
