Big mountain ski for me

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a lightweight, pretty stiff and playful ski that can rip all around the mountain and for big mountain comps. I prefer something with a underfoot of 110mm+ (just my preference). Keep in mind that I'm lightweight (130lbs) but I'm an advanced skier (I like to go fast everywhere). Also, another thing is that I get 50% off K2 and Rossingol, so I was thinking the Shreditor 112. I ski in BC and Alberta and my price range with bindings is $700. Let me know any suggestions!

Shreditors aren't that lightweight but one of the better choices if you're limited to k2 and rossi, if you can I would check out the 120 if big mountain is really what you're after.

the shreditors are pretty soft. You are really light so it might be fine but for a real big mountain comp I would probably find something stiffer

Check out the dynastar 6th sense huge, i think they're 110 waist, twin tip, light for how big they are, and rip through anything. And best of all, don't burn a hole in your pocket.

If you don't mind a directional ski, the line Supernatural 115 would be great, or the Sir Francis Bacon. They are super fun and not as soft as the Opus. Still shred.
