CRJ vs One Life vs New Life

I'm moving to Fernie, BC this winter and need new pow skis. I'm 5'10 and 150lbs and ski aggressively. I will be mounting them with Look Pivots. I've had JJs for the past 2 seasons. Really liked the JJs. Want to keep the versatility and low swing weight but I want something that feels a bit more playful. I thought the JJs were a bit stiff. I want something for all over the mountain, fresh pow days, in and out of bounds, booters, old chopped up pow, maybe even a park jump here and there, just no rails. I have K2 domains for park.

New Life. Hands down best ski I've ever been on. You'll love it not only in the powder but everything else you listed.

I have skied none of those choices, and have no experience with anything close to what you are looking for.
But I would say CRJs just to keep his memory alive.

The only thing about the CRJ that I'm not a huge fan of is the big turning radius. My JJs had a pretty tight turn radius (I think around 15) which was nice for when I did end up on hard pack. The One Life and New Life both have a shorter radius than the CRJ. From my experience, turn radius doesn't matter quite as much in powder, especially if you're going for surf turns

If you find the JJ too stiff, I'd cancel out the One Life. Super stiff bud. Heard good things about the CRJ. Look into the New Life.
