Whats good with the powder ski game - in the market for new sticks

Blew my old Surfaces up last year at Squaw on a drop, pulled the bindings out and generally had a nice digger. So, im in the market for some new skis. Always been partial to ON3P but my new Kartels didn't hold up well at all last year and topsheet snapped after like 10 days on the mountain. So, I'm looking for some new pow stick and binding combos that I can do some light touring with. I like to charge, anyone got any recommendations on this years lineup? I'm open to more ON3Ps but I want to hear about other brands and what they got going on as well.

Seems like you’re more into freestyle type pow skis that can charge, but I’ll throw the billy goats out there. They charge/ride over everything, float like a dream, but obviously for a directional skier.

Bibby/Wildcats + cast?
Is that not wide enough?

Charging and touring will always be a compromise. The heavier you go the better at charging but the worse for touring.
However, I would second the Bibby/Wildcat with a Cast or Shift. It is pretty good at charging and not too heavy.
