probably around 117 - 110 - 117, wood core with some type of reinforcement under the foot to prevent bindings ripping out.

would be light, flexable but not super flexy, and have lots of pop. cant decide on weather or not to be 100% symmetrical though

  125-108-125, light, soft tip and tail, burtons honey combe core but in a ski. titinal insert strips under bindings for torsional stiffness and stopping bindings ripping out, flat camber with long rise tip and tails true twin tips atleast 50mm rise and a top thatwould never chip.

130-140-120-135-125

130-140 would be slightly rockered. nothing insane
140-120-135 would be traditional sidecut and traditional camber
135-125 would be slightly rockered like the tip.

The ski would fairly stiff since the rocker would push the ski up in deep snow anyways. tail definitely would be stiffer then the tip for stomping cliffs.

190 length Wood core, titanium underfoot. Butterable, but pretty stiff otherwise. Square tips like moments,

and probably get kislevitz to do the graphic if I had the choice.

105-64-92, 190 cm. softer in the tip, gets progressively stiffer towards the baseplate and tip. mounted where they mount race skis. for racing.

jk

how about 81mm ar6's that are as stiff as the last of the ar5's in a 183, but sidecut is centered  at 2 cm back from true running length center.

and they would be pretty light, for the core it would be very light flexy  wood that is very strong, and the midfoot would be stiffer than the tail and tip. and maybe an ollie band to give it some more pop in the powder.

pretty light for spins and hiking, relatively stiff for stability on landings and charging through chopped up snow, symmetrical or very close to symmetrical sidecut, probably in the 90-100ish mm waist range, and a very small hint of rocker in the tips and tail for nice forward and switch landings in powder, as well as better smearage and butters. probably bamboo core, for its pop and lightness; very durable,fast base: thick edges for durability on rails. Graphics would be a fun project to design.

120-92-120 normal camber under foot then rockered, soft flex, then butter zones like 5 or 6 inches in front of toe piece and 5 or 6 inches behind heel. symetrical, 177 length, and neon pink with teal and pruple poka dots on the top, and the base would say FUN! in big letters over and over again on each ski.
it may not work well for big jumps but i think it would be the most fun possible on skis.

I'd probably do something like 140-90-140 or maybe more in the tips and tails so it would have a super tight elliptical side cut.  It would be symmetrical with a medium flex.
