  11. The only situation in which wall-to-wall is not preferable is if you're gonna be on pretty easy or groomed terrain. That being said, you can get by with narrow skins on a lot of stuff, but it doesn't take really nasty terrain to make wall-to-wall, as you put it, preferable. Spring melt/freeze will make you wish for as much skin as possible on even moderate slopes.

  19. If you were hard working like some of us you would like the fact that you can get up while it's light for a little longer. I'm a big fan of Fall Back (except for the time I lost a job once because of it ) "stupid farmers" is an obscure Simpsons reference meant to entertain some parties on this site
