Feeler: Freeride Skis

heres the deal,

I've got arv's, good on the piste and excellent in the park, although i find them too soft for big mountain charging. I am looking at skis at roughly 115 under foot, with possibly a rockered tip and tail, like seths, although i am fairly wary of getting a fully rockered ski.

They will be used for european powder days, and north america if i can get over there. I ski aggressive lines although i wouldn't call myself a particulally aggressive skier.

I'm 6'2", 170 pounds so im' looking towards 185 to 190 ish length. Either this years or next, depending on what deals i can find myself

Looking at JJ's
Hellbents (despite the rocker)
p4's
Faction 3zero
Bacons

any suggestions people, bearing in mind arv's will be my all mountain ski

Prophet 100 all the way. It's not as fat and no rockered tip but it's an amazing ski. it's such a charger and it's light. no complaints

bacons or possible motherships yje motherships are stiff planks so that might be more for you.
