I'm a 6'-4", 215lb east coast skier. The dozen or so times I can get out I try to time the trip with some sort of snowfall. I spend most of the day in the glades,which by the end of the day are mogul trails with trees in the way. If the tree lines are shot I'll seek out bump runs or the sides of steep trails where the snow isn't scraped down to ice. Thinking about the mantra. A friend of mine loves his 08/09 Elan 888. Any advice

Both great skis. I like the construction of the 888 bette. you can't go wrong. you east coast skiing will excel with the 888, they have better edge to edge handling and they will be great in the glades and the bumps.
