Need New Big Mountain Skis

I'm looking for advice on a new pair of charging skis.
Looking for some fairly stiff shredders between 180 and 190, wider than 100 underfoot, but not too big.
Got powder skis and park skis, but need some to flat out charge and compete in the IFSA Tour this year.
Any thoughts/experiences would be great.

i'd stay away from the sidestash but the volkl katana for sure, also black diamond zealot and H20 Kodiak would be pretty good too.

Charge the shit out of anything.  Cheap too.  Buy two pairs because you're going to hit a rock or two on the tour.

Nothing beats the salomon el dictator as a charging ski, unfortunately its directional, but if u need a twin look at the 191 blizzard answer, both r bomber and will destroy any type of snow

theres just too many options
whats the stiffness and camber like on the wrenegades?
I haven't seen an actual side profile of camber.

Looked at the coreupts, came back to look again this week and they were all sold out. 4frnts look sweet but I'm really looking for come camber underfoot.
As far as Black Diamond goes, any experience with the difference of the ampage and the zealot?

Stiffness wise, its stiff. TGR has some Wren reviews, just remember that the 2011/12 model had the full twin knocked down and the extra length moved to the tip, increasing the rocker:

191 ON3P Wrenegades. I have the old model in a 181 and they shred. I cant think of a better ski for your needs. Also look into the rossi rc112. If I'm remebering right, they stopped making this, but you can still find them new and theres a few used pairs.

wrens are far superior to rc112's in both how they ride and how they are built. bamboo will change how you look at skis
