Best Ski option for Sled Skiing

So just picked up an rmk pro 800 mountain sled for this season because covid is gonna fuck my season skiing alpine, I'll be making trips out to colorado, washingtion, oregon, cali, and hopefully bc and revelstoke if these borders get opened up. Anyways, I am looking for a pretty decent ski for mounting up in conjunction with the new armada/salamon/atomic switch bindings and the full tilt ascendents. basically looking for something light, (not the touring versions, they look kinda gay imo) but also something thats pretty buttery and will keep me floating in super deep snow since thats mostly what I'll be riding, and something that's going to charge with me off cliffs and booters. Right now I'm looking at the moment deathwish, wildcats, rossi black ops 118, on3p, also saw a pair of surface's 122s on sale for 350 and they look dope but I'm not so sure about that three stage kink rocker that they have going for traction with the skins going up.

ON3P aren't the lightest skis out there, that said, I have my Kartel 108 for assisted sled laps. I'm likely going to CAST them up. Huge fan of them. The Black Ops are fun but again, not the lightest.

I recommend bringing your sled to the resort, you can get alot of speed just on a green run. I like to use what the kids call crazy carpets, they are cheap and you can coat the bottom with pam if you're into going fast! It sucks that your season is ruined by covid and have to switch over to sledding though :(

Nordica Enforcer 110 or 115 free is one of the best options out there rn. Magazine BS aside they have a tighter turning radius and feel super poppy (almost like an Opus) but are stiff enough to charge on. Having some camber would be really nice for skinning as well.
All times are Eastern (-5)
