1) this isn't a fucking telegraph forum - write complete sentences.
2) search

How did you narrow it down to those skis? Was it all the research you've done in the ski reviews section?

Or perhaps from reading sage advice on how to use tech talk effectively?

I'll bite:

What you're describing there is a much more pow-dedicated ski. You are asking about fairly traditional skis that are just bigger. If you're really looking for something that is merely "able to get you through the groomers," but "good in the deep," ask about the S7, the Lhasa Pow, Lotus 138, or any number of other skis described in the skickies to this forum.

Search function, JONG.

GTFO and go take lessons on how not to write like a six year old. Writing in complete sentences has nothing to do with being computer savvy, it has to do with not being a fucking retard.

I agree, but sadly I don't have the coin for a new pair. That said, I have not skied either ski mentioned in your original post, but will throw this out there as food for thought.
If you want a ski that is good in the deep, from my experience a reverse/reverse ski with rockered tail and tip will be the most effective in deeper snow. I love my Praxis Powders for anytime there is more than 6"-8" of fresh down. Absolutely the best ski I have ever used in the trees in powder conditions. So ya, the Lhasa would likely kill it, as would a number of other skis that are similar to the Lhasa or the Praxis. Look at the Ski Reviews and then go to Gear Swap to see if you can score a nice used pair of whatever you decide upon. This is the time of year where guys are letting stuff go for cheap.
