looking to try out a mid waist everyday stiff flat tail ski for the season this year.
ive narrowed it down to blizzard cochise, fischer ranger 108, volkl 100 eight, and the ON3P wrenegade 112. what do you know about these skis and what would you recommend for a mid weight high expert level skier with some racing background?
also considering atomic automatic 109, volkl bmt 109, armada invictus 108, and dynastar cham 107
I would also recommend the cochise, with the wrens being slightly behind just because they're wider for and every day ski.
the rangers have an odd feel to them, I haven't had them on snow but in the shop they feel like the have a hinge point in the flex in the shovel, and the rocker camber profile is a little strange with lots of camber and minimal rocker.
the 100eight is a touring ski, so I wouldn't recommend it for every day use, especially a person with a racing background will probably want more of a stable ski than a full carbin touring ski.
don't look and the auto or chams, way to pin tailed for fun charging skiing. the bmt and invictus are probably pretty good as well but I don't have any experience with them.

its weird, i like the flex of the ranger the best of the 3
btw the 100eight is not at all a touring ski you are thinking of the carbon vworks bmt. the 100eight won freeskier midwaist charger of the year and is volkls everyday west coast all mountain ski

This is accurate. i skied it on some groomers last year and it ripped. but, it was sort of a speed boat. it wanted to make real big turns... that said it was sortie fun in the bumps :) def a good all-round ski, but i would also give a thumbs up to the new coshise, a worthy ski for sure
RudyGarmischTalk through it then, what's the like/dislike with em compared to the others you tried?
they honestly just arent as powerful. they are certainly smooth and fun as all hell but i have a medium flex ski already in my jefferies and i want my flattails to just charge harder than the wrens do.
