Hey guys looking for something different for my ski quiver. Right now I have the Jeff 100 Jeff 108 mango 90 woodsman 96 and a set of Frankenskis. I want something different for east coast days that I can carve and just absolutely rip on! Any suggestions would be amazing

Some of my best carves have been on the unleashed 108, so the 98 got stinkers for sure. Buddy takes it out to carve more than his 88 renoun.

Go get you a k2 mindbender 89. But tbh any ski around 85-90 underfoot with metal in it will be loads of fun. I've heard very good things about the armada declivity 92ti, it has more of a freestyle take on the dad ski archetype.

Talked to a couple mirus cor owners, some have said that they feel too soft to really grip on ice and hard groomers.

I would say line blade would fit your use, but i have not tried it myself

some heavy race skis with sharp edges.

these are more so race adjacent, but full camber and mono-tip (?) is prob the direction you wanna look in

Is there a carving ski that has a rec mount point of like -4? I know it doesn't make a lot of sense for a craving ski to have a forward mount point but imo when switching skis the hardest thing to adjust to is mount point.
