sweet spot for a "does everything" ski. While wider skis have gotten
much better at dealing with hard snow in the last couple years, they
still are a struggle when it's bulletproof.

Not sure what you mean? Wider skis where better than smaller ones? Or
they got better (from worse)? As for the latter, i'd agree ...

Hard to believe that
just a few mm would make that much difference, but it really
does.

Yep. You're right here, IMHO.
