So Im 177cm tall / 5ft10 and weight 73kgs / 160lbs. Currently I have a Line SFB and Im looking to get a second pair of skis. Looking for something stiffer and more chargy that can float in powder but also be able to charge through shit conditions like crud and hard packed etc. Any suggestions? (Im from europe so no on3ps or whatever)

blizzard rustler 11s go pretty hard.

most blizzard skis, enforcers, faction dictators, and skis that aren't advertising the "playful" part would work pretty well.

I'd suggest a arv 106 or volkl revolt 104 I'm 6ft 2 and 230 and I ride an arv 106 they are pretty solid

I'll simp for enforcer free 110's. They float ok in pow but rail hardpack and absolutely monstertruck chop. And they are very easy to ski. It's like cheat codes.

How about you start by changing your name and not getting a touring binding

K2 mindbender 108 are chargy but also reasonably forgiving of mistakes. I’m 150lbs and ski the 185 no problem

Charging crud and hardpack is not where the shift excels by any means.

Get something large 190+ charging skis is more about length than flex. I ride the dynastar 108 mfree in 194 and dig em. I've dug the enforcer 110s in 191.

Reckoner 112s are the way to go. They’ll be playful and float in powder, and charge through the chunky stuff the next day.

Rossignol Sender Squad. They only come in 194 but there not punishing. Respond well to a centerd stance and also driving the tips (mounted -4,5,between recommended and the playful mountpoint).Coming from the Bentchetler 120 (also -4,5 from center) it’s pretty mind boggling how fast you can ski through pretty much anything while not feeling like a traditional ski that you have to drive through the shovels. Where are you from? You can try them for a run if you’re in the area.
