Looking for a set of chargers that are 100-110mm underfoot. I'm not looking for directional skis as I'll occasionally take them through the park for a few laps. Currently riding the k2 pettitors 179cm but looking for something stiffer to destroy crud/ variable and able to go mach 10 through anything.

Looking at black crow artis but not sure if they are too soft... Any help would be great.

Nordica Enforcer 110, Kartel 108, or if you can handle a few more mm underfoot, the Supernatural 115.

My 4frnt Devestators are awesome. Hold and edge super well and are pretty stiff. They crush through crud...been a huge huge fan of them since I bought them. Im on the 184 and ride them +1 of rec mount. Love the mounting spot.

Looked at the corvus? I demoed the atris a few weeks ago and while I found it very fun the tails were a bit loose/unstable for me.

If that’s not your thing they are making a 102 and 110 (pretty sure) of the Cleaver ski which also rips and chatter is not a thing on those puppies.

Thanks for all the feedback. Been looking at the devs for a while but worried 184 might be a tad long.. I'm 5 ft 7 155lb. Do the devs run true to length cus my pettitors are 179 and are almost as long as 185 armada jjs?

If you're after stability whilst charging I'd definitely go for the 184.

If you're a strong skier and ride anything mid 180's it will be hard to go back...the added stability on longer skis is much much more enjoyable and its not much extra to squeeze through tree's or what not. I wish they would make a bigger version at like 188 -190 instead of 194. Go with the 184's if you get this ski you will love them.

I'm 5'10", 155 lbs and ride 190 Bibbys and 188 Corvus's. You'll be fine at 184 if you want a charging ski

Icelantic makes the most ovepriced skis on the market and not particularly exciting or different in any way - can get a ski for 500 bucks thats just as good if not better. Colorado is obsessed with them because they put colorado flags on their skis

First, they're priced pretty similar to the majority of other ski companies (MSRP $599 - $799). Second, they ski amazing and are durable. Third, the CO Flag on every ski is smaller than one square inch on the tail..... Why talk shit on an American ski company? lol

They’re actually 112 underfoot, but 2mm is minute and they ski groomers very well and feel super surfy. I find them to be pretty stiff as well.

not trying to jack the thread but do they ski short? because i might pick up a pair of 194's instead of 186's because of the crazy rocker

How tall are you?
With the taper and rocker they ski a bit short just as you’d expect. The ski itself sizes a bit short, my 181s are more like a 179
