Less than 86mm, Buttery, & Twin Tipped?

I'm looking for a ski that has a 85mm waist or less, is very buttery, and is also twin tipped. The closest thing I've found is the 2009 Line Invader: https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/line-invader

Can anyone tell me what recent skis are close to this? Thanks.

Nordica Soulrider 87 (just over on the width but otherwise a really good match for what you're after), Majesty Rock n rolla, Armada ARV 84, Maybe 4FRNT Click although it doesn't have much rocker... can't think of any others

Why does it need to be under 86? You'll have much better luck with 88-92

Volkl ledge is 85 underfoot and pretty soft. Very light and fun skis but not the most durable and also has extruded bases (or at least the 2013 model did) which isn't great.

head caddy might be worth looking at. not super buttery but medium flex can actually carve and you just need to learn to get your weight into butters.

They don't make it anymore and it doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere - newest version had extruded bases which aren't ideal for sticky snow days
