There is no reason to go waxless with a deep snow ski. Waxing is easy in cold snow
I might consider adding an Anses waxable ski next year, but not now.
Just don't want the waxing learning curve, now.
Cost/availability also currently factor.
I hope you find what you want. These skis were my gateway drug into kick waxing skis.

They are cheap. They are heavier than an E-88, but some well regarded reviewers have said they are quite similar. I know they handle deep powder and crud. I might use mine more had I purchased a 210 cm. I just have a few more performance skis these days.

Here is a link to reviews https://www.telemarktalk.com/viewtopic.php?t=878

Good luck!
