By back country do you simply mean off-piste? Like trees and groomed areas?

How big are you?

Where do you ski?

What skis have you used in the past and what have you liked or disliked about those skis?

Do you have a budget in mind?

I go out west every year from michigan, ex hockey player 21 in college around a fit 190. But go to the big places every year Big Sky, Summit county, steamboat, headed to telluride in december. Broke my rossignol all mountain skis, rode some rossi sky 7 HD's and kinda liked em but wanted more playful ski for michigan riding. I do want a ski that will perform well on the double blacks out west floating through trees, and stomping through mogols. Price range really isn't an issue, want a durable ski that I can trust for a while. Also got the Marker Griffin bindings for a steal that I plan on putting on these skis, if that makes a difference in ski selection.

Thanks for the help

I also would prefer something around 95-100 underfoot. But lose yourself in the woods is my motto. Freestyle/backcountry skiing.

At your weight, Blends are going to be a soggy noodle. SFBs would be a much better choice from Line. A couple other skis with similar shapes but stiffer flex patterns would be Moment PB&Js, Rossi Black Ops 98s, Nordica Enforcer 104s, or Armada ARV96tis.

Another excellent choice would be the Menace 98(Slicer Factory renamed) as it’s a nice weight/flex to be stable and a blast in bumps. Very good edge hold as well on harder snow. Best part is they are usually found at insane cheap prices if you get last years Slicer Factory top sheet.

he's right!

J Ski Allplay would also do what you want.
