Looking for everyday do it all ski to add to my 2ski quiver. Second ski is a deep day ski and is either Salomon QST118 or Faction Candide 4.0/5.0.

I'm 178cm/60kg. I want a playful ski, that I can use occasionally in park, doesn't require a ton of input for butters, but still good on speed, could be driven from shovels and could hold some amount of fresh snow when I decided to go with them instead of deep day ski.

I'm looking to 180 size as I will have a deep day ski anyway and smaller size is going to be better for spinning and hitting rails.



P.S. I was also thinking about Vishnu wide plus, but there aren't a lot of reviews around, they are rare in Europe and it looks like it's hard to buy them.

P.P.S. If there's a good ski that I overlooked, I'm open to discussion.

The revolt 104 sounds like it is going to be an amazing ski. There is not a ton of info or reviews on it yet because it isn't out yet. But I would lean towards it.

I talked with Fabio Studer and he told me that the revolt 104 is the best all-rounder on the mountain (park powder piste). It’s a pretty buttery ski as you could see on the video by volkl , probably softer than the 106.
im also 178cm and 63 kg and I’m probably going to buy it.

WOW Full rocker with a little flat section?! I thought it would be similar to revolt 121 profile with less rocker/more camber.

Nooo it's not full rocker. It may look like it is but no. It has camber underfoot and nice tip and tail rocker. It kind reminds me of the ONE and TWO but with a small camber underfoot.

Everyone i asked if they would recommend me this ski said yes. If you want a playful, buttery but still solid ski for everyday you should go for this one

I bet they are both good. Ive got volkl kinks and just bought arv 106 ti’s. My volkls are great but sink in powder. The arv 106s ive read good things about.
