So I'm looking to get something around that 100-113 underfoot ski. I have a few ideas but would like some other opinions. I'm thinking Dynastar Legend 106 because I really like how the "Powerdrive" tech skis. But I also have been looking into the Elan Ripstick 106. My widest ski I have now is a Blizzard Regulator (94mm). I want something that is going to be fun in powder, crud, and trees. Don't want anything wider that 113. If you have any other ski, please say so. help a brotha out.

If you're looking for something good in powder and variable you should be looking on the wider side, surface area and torsional rigidity on fatter skis plays a huge role in their performance in those conditions. The Cochise, Legend, and Ripstick are good options but maybe take a look at the Enforcer 110, it looks like a monster. Also, 113 seems like a really weird cutoff point. If you bumped up 3mm to a 116 you could look at the ON3P Billy Goat which is a fucking machine in pow and crud. The Moment Bibby is another ski that's just a few millimeters away from your seemingly arbitrary cutoff and it's famous for it's pow and crud busting performance.

I agree. Billys are one of the best soft snow skis ever. I will be riding on the Sego prospect 112 for my crud buster/soft snow ski this season.
