At the risk of being repetitive, I have Rossi S5 Barras 128/98/121 and I'm wondering if 110's would work or if I should hold out for 120 which are not currently in stock. I mean it is the middle of summer - I don't need them tomorrow.

The last thing you want is too much base exposure that results in poor climbing performance on side hills, so don't get the 110's. With the 120's, you're only going to have 4mm exposure on either side at the widest point of the ski, so you won't even need to trim that part of the skin. Sorry to hear you don't need them tomorrow, but I guess that booting is preferred for climbing July snow patches anyway. Pray for snow.
