Atomic infamous made some pretty aggressive turns. But they were 'snappy meaning they'll snap. Any camber ski will be respnsive to turns (especially from a race company) Nordics omw, volkl wall, APO Kai pro which u probably have. Those will all be aggressive for carving.

Liberty is super snappy due to the bamboo core.

If you mainly ski park twins, rip a pair of GS, or if you're lucky SL skis and it will take you to the moon and back with how snappy they are.

On my GS or Slalom (last year) I could drag my hip when I picked up some good speed and it would shoot me into the next turn and during the transition you feel weightless, almost like you are jumping to the next turn. This being said you need to be able to properly flex and push them which center mounted twins don't help you with, but spend a few runs on any race ski and it's not hard to figure out. Especially Atomics or Head skis, you will see a new side to skiing.
