Ski recommendations

Ello Ns, EPfanboys friend here, looking for ski recommendations. I've been skiing since I was little but never actually committed to buying any skis, so I think i should finally rip the bandaid off. I've skied some armada ARV's (106) and 2020 Bentchetlers (100) recently, and I have to say that the Bentchetlers definitely were my favourite. Basically I'm looking for some all mountain skis, 100-110 wide, around 180 long, with greater emphasis on the turning and off-piste performance over park. Although I still want to retain the ability to do a range of tricks (I can do 180s, but want to get better). EPfanboy has recommended the Moment Wildcat 101 or 108 and ON3P Woodsman 102 or 108, would these suit me?

I've heard a lot of good stuff about the Bentchetlers and skied them very briefly, they carved way nicer than my b-dogs (mostly because they actually had edges that weren't completely dulled but still) and had some nice pop. my friend whose tried doesn't ski park whatsoever and he says they are his favourite ski but I still see a fair people in the park using them so I really think they are a great park/all mountain ski. The moment wildcat and ON3P woodsman are also great skis but defiantly a higher price point than the Atomics.

The ON3P Jeffrey’s would be a good choice. More freestyle oriented than the woodsman. They come in 102 or 108 too.

Reckoner 102 or Marksman, the marksman are super fun in soft snow, pow and slush, and they’ve been discontinued so you can find them on sale.

should also check out the 4frnt devastator, it rips everything. It's been my favorite ski for years now, cannot recommend it enough.

So he wants a directional ski? The wildcat is a twin. As well as the other skis mentioned, other than the woodsmans which is pretty close.

Bentchetler 100 is one of the most versatile skis out there. Definitely a good choice for him.

The Line Sick day 104 could be good too if he wants a partial twin.
