Replying to Jack of all trades all mountain playful skis
In previous treads I asked for something that is very similar to K2 pettitor. I was suggested to try k2 shredittor and marksman. I tried and didn't like them. To sloppy on speed and hard snow. I liked shreditor more than marksman, but still to soft for me. I decided that I need to go for different skis.
Looking for a daily driver for Europe Alps, Carpathian Mountains and Caucasus.
All mountain skiing almost in any conditions except a waist deep pow. Some park laps and occasional backcountry. Looking to mount skis with binding freedom inserts for salomon shift (for days when I travel only with one pair and conditions are not for wider skis and I could have some ski tour laps) and salomon STH2 13 (as a main binding). I'm 178cm, 60±2kg without backpack. Ski ability - somewhere in the middle between advanced to expert for skiing, but beginner in park.
For pure touring and pow skiing I have skis designed especially for those applications.
Currently my main skis are Zag SLAP 104. Good skis. But they have thin, edges -7 mount point, that is good for touring and general all mountain, but not good for park.
So I'm looking rn on
Armada ARV 96 184 2019 or 2020 model. could get a good deal on them. On paper they have not enough rocker for occasional not so deep pow.
Volkl Revolt 95 181 - can get veeeery good deal on them.
On3p Kartel 96 181 - the most expensive in list + expensive shipping, but I could give it a try. on paper the best option for my needs. But I hven't seen any reviews of 96 model yet
K2 poacher 184 or even 177 (as they are actually bigger than stated according to roofbox review) - On paper second best for all mountain
Atomic BC 100 180 - seems like good skis on paper. But I'm afraid of such lightweight skis
I'm going to mount them somewhere between -1.5...-3
Unfortunately I cannot try anything except hand flexing arv 96 in store. what can you recommend? thanx in advance.
