105-110 Ski Recs (Armada Declivity 108Ti vs Rossi Blackops Sender Ti)

Aight guys so adding another ski to the quiver. Already have a set of Kartel 96s which are my cruisy and playful resort skis for Aus and NZ, but wanting to get something wider for deeper days and the (hopefully again soon) 2-3 weeks I spend in Canada/US each year.

Want something that's gonna be prettyy damp and stable to cope with the steeper NZ terrain when it snows and then chopped up, but still with some playful undertones so it doesn't feel like a complete plank. 80kg and 178cm.

Leaning towards the Declivity 108Ti and the Rossi Blackops Sender (slightly more towards the Declivity bc I can get it on prodeal) and was wondering if anyone had had some time on them and your thoughts, or any others I should be considering. Theyll probably end out getting mounted with Duke PTs but i dont mind if they're on the slightly heavier side tbh

Cheers

I know you said the Declivitys because you could get them on prodeal but if you have the Kartels and enjoy them it sounds like the Woodmans 110 could be perfect for you. I haven’t heard anything super positive about the declivity series but I have heard good things about the senders.

I’ve heard people say they like them but I swear people are always breaking them in some shape or fashion

can't speak to the 108s or the senders but i skied the blackops 98s a good amount and they were super damp and super precise. Pretty stiff but they impressed the hell out of me. They carve great.
I skied my buddy's declivity 115s for a few days at beartooth and they were the most solid ski I've ever been on. They make railroad tracks on everything but they are still pretty poppy and fun. I was on the 185 which was a bit short for me but i'm sure the 192s absolutely rail.
I think the declivity 108s could be the way to go but also the new ARV 106 is a bit more of a charger so maybe check that out.
