Im curious to hear what others think would be the most playful fat twin? Little Background im 6 foot, buck 80. Enjoy charging, but still seem to treat backcountry like the park. I live on the ice coast so experience with these skis is limited.

May be a bit ridiculus but still awesome.

so i've ridden all of those besides the CoreUPTs. my vote would be Atomic BC.

Super playful, but still has enough in it to charge crud and even grab an edge and hold it on groomers. they fixed a lot of the durability issues they were having with the early model of the ski (ie less breaking of it).

the surface is a good choice too, but i trust the brand atomic a little more personally.

if you can pay for the mutant and be okay with only skiing it MAYBE 20 days a year, go for it. it is not a fun ski to be on hardpack though. knee blowout city though

just my $0.02

do you really need something THAT fat??

although i personally can not stand the ski, CRJs are definitely "playful." but the second you mention charging, i'd advise you to look elsewhere. they have so little torsional stiffness that they're not a ski you'll likely feel comfortable charging on.

ON3P caylors also come to mind
