I know its prolly gonna be impossible to get a ski that can do both. But im taking a trip to jay with the old man (groomers in the morning, leftovers after that) That being said I am an advanced pow and steep skier, I like hucking 10+ cliffs but also like a sharp turn radius. I am 5ft 7in 145 pounds. I am looking at some icelantic nomads,k2 shred 112's
on3p jeffrey 114's and maybe a 4frnt yle.I might throw some 3 of some 15 foot jumps and hit some boxes but old man hates whenever I do it.

Been on both yle and Jeffery. Both do what you want, but they have larger turn radi.

I have never noticed chatter, but I would think any powski that isn't super stiff would have chatter

Ive ridden the Nordica Patron for about a month now and freaking love them. I have literally given them the full spectrum of the east coast (pow,park jumps,narrow trees, boiler plate) they have held up super well. They have a pretty snappy turning radius at 16.5m at 177 and lock an edge like a race ski. I competed in the STEFT finals on the face chutes at jay, super stable to huck with and charges turns in crud at mach cheetah. quickly became my everyday ski.

k2 shreditor 112 is a damn fun ski! i demoed a pair couple weeks ago, and i was pleasantly surprised from the flex. it was soft but still very stable, so butters and tail/nose presses were a walk in the park. they were pretty light too, but i didn't feel the nose shatter in higher speeds. that said, i liked to ski groomers with varying speeds and skiing pow felt like surfing. only thing i would have wanted was a size up, 179 felt too short but that's all they had with 'em. i would recommend them, and i'm gonna buy them next season.

ON3P Jeffrey
Blizzard Gunsmoke
Nordica Patron
and
K2 Shredditor 112

are the best of the league for this sort of ski. I honestly think you might find the Patron to be the most to your liking of the bunch.
