Al dentes, l-toros, or SFBs?

I'm looking to get a new pair of skis that I can shred all mountain. I want them to be at least 100 underfoot and soft as hell. Something like 104 underfoot would be perfect. Which of those three would be best? If you have any other suggestions, please tell me them.

they're expensive as hell and not extremely soft. I'm trying to find deals on them.

I haven't skied any of them, but from what i've heard l-toros might be what your looking for. Heres a relevant thread:

BloomOuterwear: "Get the L-Toros. Super playful, super durable, and they shred it everywhere. Park or big mountain. I love mine. I've skied Line too and can say that Fat-ypus makes a much better pair of skis."

Yeah, the L-Toros were what I was leaning towards. I just needed more reassurance I guess lol

I have a pair of l Toros and they're mad fun. Really buttery but I've taken mine as fast as you can go down some pretty firm snow and they didn't feel unstable. They've also got that 101 underfoot and a little bit of rocket so they definitely float well in soft snow

adding the k2 shreditor to the list. If I can't get a pair of L-Toros for a good deal, then I think I'll pick up the shreditors

Batalla skis are stiff, but still playful. Kartel 106 are stiff yet playful. I have a pair of each.

If you guys really want a soft ski look elsewhere, those two skis are meant to charge whatever is thrown at them. I've heard both good and bad about the Al dente, but 2 of my buddies who have them love them. Never been on L Toros but they look so fun! Also the SFB or blend is a good choice.

from the way tompietrowski reviewed the mordecai's, those seem like a solid bet as well

l-toro´s are awesome super soft but a really solid ski, i ski on them a bunch of days in my trip to the us for 2 months. the skis were mounted before and i didn't have any problems with them and they really impressed me on how fun they are.
