We definitely have a difference in philosophy.
But, there's room out there for everyone.
My gear dates back to the late '90s.
Tuas, just as the tele skis began to widen,
the 2nd iteration of the T3s,
and I never saw any need to graduate beyond 75mm 3 pins to bear traps or heavier.
I always kept my gear as light as I could and still get my turns under as varied of conditions as possible.
Never saw a need to upgrade from what I had.
That's the reason my gear is so beat up, but still servicable.
I am, and always have been, a cruiser but have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of the steeper slopes too.
I'm now in my mid 70's and haven't had the skis on for at least 8 years.
I will stick to cruising this time, probably also making a lot bomb craters.
I've had my epic ski adventures.
Fun is my goal of the day.
Plus, I agree, the late morning, early afternoon snow conditions should be divine.
Enjoy yourself and be safe.
It's no fun if you can't do it again.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
