The line Pandora series is really solid and you can generally get a good deal. How much fun you’ll have on bullet proof groomers and how much fun you’ll have in fresh snow are kind of at odds with each other, so a bit more about you / style / specific preferences would be useful.

One of my freeride coaches skis similar stuff to you and she skis Solomon QST, Rossi Black opps, or blizzard rustlers.

That’s the northeast conditions for ya, at odds w each other. Free ride skier. Not really a charger. Really likes the trees. Would like some stability at higher speeds. Wish I could afford more than one set up, but not realistic. An all mountain ski that can handle VT pow & variable conditions. Thanks for your help!

Going to take a deeper look at the salomons & blizzards. Thanks!!

Liberty Genesis 90 or 96

Blizzard Black Pearl 88

Nordica Santa Ana 93?, I can't remember what widths are offered

Line Pandora 94 as mentioned

All good well rounded one ski quiver skis, I'm not sure which edges best on hard/icey surfaces.

Have you read through blisterreview.com?

ranger 102 FR, gave my GF a pair and she rips on them, its interesting to see how a lighter person can float on 102s

What rough ski length do you normally/want to ride? A confident rider, who’s suitably tall would be a good fit for our 175 Pioneer which is a light, go anywhere ski with plenty camber & stiffness underfoot for hard snow, decent rocker & taper at the ends for pow and a great ability to adjust on the fly in a tight spot like in the trees.

These are on the top of my list. How are they on hard pack? Higher speeds? Thanks!

I love them on hardpack, she does as well, its probably the best non metal carving ski for hard pack I ever tried.

I've had my 191cm's up to 50mph+ range

after she got them her skiiing has improved stupid fast, and she goes skiiing without me! bumped them +1 for mount. she can now carve very good, getting skis she trust was a huge thing. she got skis 1 inch taller than her, aka 2-3cm.

Dang maybe I need to get my wife these magic sticks.

Can confirm, you'll be really happy with the pandora. It totally charges but it's easy to ski, tails release really nicely.
