Whatsup NS I'm looking for a ski I can primarily use here on the east coast (North Carolina) and take out west a couple times a year. I have a ski for deeper snow but I'm looking for something in the 92-100 width. I'm 6'3 190 and like to ski pretty hard. Tree lines, jibbing around the mountain, and shredding off the grommers and the occasional park lap is what I'm in to.

I've been looking at the punisher 95, blizzard regulator. Anybody have experience with any of these?

Haven't used the Punisher, but the regulator is a stiffer ski than the shreditor, and imo a more capable all mountain ski as a result. If you're skiing fast and hard through variable off-piste conditions it'd probably serve you better. Not great in deep powder, but probably not a huge deal if you're primarily skiing the east coast.

Can't speak from experience but in the buyer's guide Blister described the Punisher 95 as forgiving, maneuverable, a good carver for having a fairly rockered tip and tail, and poppy for airs and spins. We recommended it as "a playful, trickable ski best suited to lighter skiers who like to ski anywhere and everywhere on the mountain"
