I am looking to buy some new all-mountain pow skis.

Specs:

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 105 lbs.

Skier type: 3

I have looked at several skis including: Fat-ypus L-Toro, Line Sir Francis Bacon, Line Mr. Pollards Opus, ON3P Jeronimo and Moment PBJ. I am looking for a soft, yet poppy flex with early-rise all throughout.Usually in the pow I keep it pretty mellow with some fun lil 3's off anything I can find as well as nosebutters/tail butters (hoping to do a backflip sooner or later). I am an east coast skier who usually goes out west about 4-5 times a year usually to Jackson, A-Basin, Taos, Park City, Snowbird, Alta as well as summit county resorts.

I would also like this thread to be largely about the Fat-ypus L-Toro. This ski has peaked my interest the most and it seems like the best fit to me. How durable are they?

Binding recommendations?

Thanks

For bindings you could get away with marker griffins or 4 front deadbolts considering how light you are

what kind of waist width are you looking at? the Rossignol scimitar(96mm) and sickle(110mm) are both fun skis. full reverse camber, pretty soft. they are virtually identical aside from the dim's. look into those, since you are not out west year round, they are super fun park skis/all mountain skis
