I know this is what a quiver is for, but I currently have a pair of BD Helio 105's with kingpins and am planning on quiver killering them in hopes of finding a high speed pillow ski. I have been looking at the Bent Chetlers, backland 117's and JJ's, but want something with a longer turning radius and can be used for some jumping and nosebutters. Preferably under 9 pounds but it seems this years jj is like 9.7 and I have the helios for anything more than a short day tour.

I tour on Bentchelter's with frame bindings and they still rock the fuck out of booters and butters, 10/10 would recommend

Okay, update: I'm currently going to school in Norway and don't want to deal with 25% VAT so I'm shipping the skis to a friend from the netherlands and he's gonna get them when he goes home... Anyone have any recommendations for sites that are having any discounts thats shipping within europe? I'm liking the Bibby tour or the Renegade, but am still open to other options.

Any thoughts on the kartel 116 with dukes? Probably really heavy but this ski is gonna see a lot of resort use, some japow, and a but of slackcountry.
