Shreditor or devastator

So for most of this season my mind was set on buying either k2 shreditor 102 or 112 but then recently been reading up a lot about the 4frnt devastator. I'm leaning toward the devastator just was hoping for some opinions on which would fit me better.
I'm 6'2 245 pounds and ski in Utah. Looking for a true all mountain ski that I can take anywhere on the mountain from groomers to deep pow.
Thanks for your time!

If you live in Utah swing by 4frnt and demo a pair of the devastators. I think it costs $40 to demo them and if you end up buying the skis they'll credit the demo cost to your purchase.

I'd highly recommend the devastators, they're my everyday ski, but full rocker is not for everyone.

devs for sure. My buddy has the k2 102s and they are sooooo soft. He will land in powder and just explode. its pretty funny actually.

The devs are a great ski. Stiff enough to charge hard, but you can still have fun with them. Kudos to 4frnt on that ski.

shreditor 102 are super soft but they definitely support you after a big drop. I use shreditor 92s but have tried the 102 and its such a dope ski. I loved using them but, I ski in the east so 102 is pointless

+1, when I demoed the Shreditor they were heaps of fun but they didn't hold up great under me at 210 or so.
The Devastator on the other hand was confidence-inspiringly good.

Are you guys talking about the 102 or 112 being soft? OP, the 112 in 189 would be a great ski for you, I don't think the 102 will be wide enough for deep pow.

The 112 will be and still is so much fun on groomed. Ideally you should demo both and choose your favorite!
