So my skis are now way to fucking short and i am in need of some new sticks. I tend to stick to the mountain rather than the park so ill need a ski that can rip on groomer, handle powder and can send natural hits and cliffs. oh and some thing buttery and playful but stiff as well. Im 190 lb and 6'2/6'3. So far I've been recommended the sheditor 112 which seems to fit my needs.

So NS what ski should i get.

The atomic automatics are pretty sweet. Couple of width sizes as well.

Shredditor 112 sounds about right!

kartel 106 might also work if you want something a little better on groomers than the jefferys

Is there a reason I got down voted? Haha its a killer ski that rips groomers, can handle the occasional park lap, and floats well in the pow. Super poppy and solid. Nose is medium stiff flex so you can butter and get playful. Tail is stiffer for goood landings but can still be played with. It's and awesome ski, I love it, and I highly recommend.

gotchu on that up vote: Can confirm. I finally mounted my YLE's during utah's dry spell we're in. Me being me I couldn't wait for a pow day. I have 3 days of hard pack on them and they are sweet. They're nice and damp. Handle the groomers well if you know how to ski groomers with a wider ski. Skiing switch is a dream

The 4frnt Devastator or the Devastator LTD Look like they would suit your needs. The only difference is the graphics and both come in a 194 at 111 underfoot or a 184 at 108 underfoot. Haven't skied it myself but it looks like a pretty solid ski.

Currently own the 114 Jeff, I've ridden the devastators as well, both of these skis rip. You really can't go wrong with either. They're both all mountain crushers. I've had just as much fun on the jeff in hard snow as I have in waist deep fresh Utah powder. The YLE is on my list of skis to demo, I've just been waiting for some new snow to run down to 4frnt and grab them.

Shreditors are a pretty soft ski, and at 190 lbs you'll be feeling a lot of tip chatter and the tails wont be be the most supportive.

That said the YLEs are awesome! You should buy mine! PM me
