i am looking for a ski that you can rip on the groomers, huck cliffs and skin, and hit rails. all in the same day. i have been doing all these with the hellbents but not as aggressive as i would like to, rails are no prob with the bents the groomers and park i loose confidence with the lack of effective edge, skining is tough with their weight, and a tad soft, don't get me wrong the hellbents are a kick ass ski. i have looked into the 4frnt EHB i think with the rocker and flat camber they could be a good all round ski, i am curious what some have to say about them and the armada ARG, also asked about the bent chetler the guy i asked said with the positive camber you catch up in odd ways.

in all i want a wide ski around 115-120 underfoot but no wider than 135 at the tips.

i want something similar to the atmoic thug ski but with some rocker

the arg has reverse sidecut and reverse camber so you can forget about ripping groomers on those. theyre bascially made for only deep pow from what i hear

Caylors would be a good fit. Camber underfoot, plenty of rocker, same construction as we use on our park skis, 100% bamboo cores.

'12 Line Sir Francis Bacons. I just got a pair off warranty after my lizzies snapped back in january, and they are amazing.

i think you want the bacons. but they are a 142 in the tip so maybe a bit bigger then you want. but it def sounds like the type of ski you are looking for
