All-mountain skis that would work with center mount and park usage?

Hey whats up.

After two seasons on 188cm Bent Chetler 100's i'm not too keen to go for a third season/pair even though I absolutely love the ski. It would be nice to change things up but i'm not doing too good in finding a ski that will fit my needs.

I'm looking for a skis like the Bent Chetler 100's that I can shred a bit of everything on (but with that said mostly jumps and rails). Most skis i've find interesting have their recommended mounting point so far back that I feel like I'm committing a crime if I were to center mount.

I'm 186cm, 77kg/170lbs.
- Center mountable
- Twintip
- Length: 185-190cm
- Waist: 95mm-100mm
- Preferably camber
- Preferably on the stiffer side
- I will not buy Armada's or Faction's due to previous experience with durability.

Yeah, it's weird how many people want to center mount their skis even if they aren't only skiing park. The manufacturer recommends a mounting point for a reason, and most skis ski best mounted there.

Hogis- I will not buy Armada's or Faction's due to previous experience with durability.

Just want to point out how stubborn this is. Armada and Faction are some of the best ski brands out there. I have heard of Faction CT's not having the best durability in the past, but they have really beefed those skis up this year. The prodigy series are pretty bombproof (or so it seems).

I have never heard of Armada having any outstanding issues with durability. Maybe you just had a bad batch.

Take a look at the Prodigy 3.0 for a ski that kinda matches your requirements (as well as the skis I mentioned earlier in this thread)
