The CRJs are pretty much bentchetler size. Maybe check out something like the turbo from 4frnt. the ski rips everything, and will definitely be a lot easier to tour with than a crj or bentchetler.

^what he said, Turbos would be nice for that if you want to get some 4FRNTS..

No hate, but with a little more effort you can find all the info you need by using the searchbar..

Don't get CRJs as an everyday/all mtn ski. There are much more enjoyable options out there.

Im on Armada TSTs as my everyday ski and absolutely love em. Fat tip rocker for pow but slims to 103 underfoot so they can rip hardpack/groomers too. CRJs are my deep pow ski and theyre a ton of fun in those conditions, but arent great when things start getting harder/mashed.

95-105 underfoot

rocker tip/tail

camber underfoot for groomers

20-28m turn radius

----any ski under those parameters should do you good!

Sounds like the Turbo to me!

FWIW I use the CRJ for my touring/every day Alta ski and I love it. Super playful, but can get you through anything.

Depending on where you ski mostly, you could also look into the MSP

Blizzard Cochise best all round ski youll find for ripping groomers to surfing powder. i found the TST to have exesive tip flap at speed on hard snow. They did hold an edge OK but nothing like the Cochise!!! Rate the TST 85/100 compared to the Cochise 99/100 comparing those two. DPS wailer112 is sick also. If ya like 4frnt look at the YLE also. great ski!!

Yep that might be a good one also. I always wanted to try those skis but never got the chance. The helix has pretty good reviews every year. They still make them so that says somthing also. Man if you can demo some of these thats always your best bet. I thought I would love the TST as an example for a one quiver but I dnt think so now after the Cochise. I reall want that ski now. I would be willing to sell my ep pros to get that ski!

this. the crj's a great choice if you ski mellow pow fields all day long, but i'd look elsewhere if that doesn't describe your average day.

I don't really know of anyone who's toured on them yet, but I imagine they would tour pretty well. They would definitely ski anything you through at it as far as conditions go. It's not the lightest ski out there, but it's not so heavy that you'd hate life going up.

Dude I would go with the LINE Blends. I have them they own everywhere. A 100 waist is perfect everywhere i shred groomers in the park to back country. THEIR GREAT!
