All mountain east coast skis

Sup guys
I've been looking for a while for a east coast all mountain-ski. I'm an advanced skier, was racing when I was younger, and got into freestyle afterwards. I'm looking for a fun ski that I'l be using mostly in moguls, trees, groomers and just for throwing around and for bad conditions. I already have skis for powder days so not really looking for a "fat" ski (pretty much looking for a ski between 95 and 105). Been looking at these for a while, if anyone has some reviews on them, I'l appreciate to hear about it.

- K2 Marksman (really want to know more about these)
- Line Vision 98 (I know they are super light and more touring oriented but they seem pretty fun as well as an all-mountain ski.)
- Volkl 90eight
- Line sfb (tried once... not really convinced)

Why not buy online? I haven’t bought skis at a shop in years.

I mean I'm looking online too but I still want to be able to see the ski in itself or try it before buying and on3p for exemple, is not really around where I stay

Nope that's what I'm saying, that's why I'm looking more at the skis I mentioned.

ON3P doesn’t demo much on the east coast iirc. My Jeffrey 96’s are coming soon and you do get free shipping for orders over like $100.

If you have a stronger racer background I’d look more towards Fischer Ranger 102FR as opposed to ON3P. They make great skis, but you can def do better for east Coast mid fat.

If you want ON3P to demo on the east coast then express your feelings to the company. If they don’t see the need they won’t spend the money. Demo tours ain’t cheap.
