What Skis?

Im 5'6, 120lbs, and a very strong skier. Im looking for a fairly versatile ski thats mid 170's, pretty light, give or take 100-110 underfoot, fairly stiff, and with camber and early rise in the tip. I would not mind trying something with a different side cut, like Armada's Elf Shoe Tech, or something similar. I'm liking the Salomon Shoguns now, and also like the look of the Atomic Blog, but I dont want a noodle. What are some ski that fit this catagory?

take a look at blends. i know they dont have early rise but they are very versatile. i use mine mostly in the park but they do handle well on groomers and rip powder when i find it.

The obsethed fits your description pretty good, except it not very light.

The Obsethed is to soft for what I want. After looking, Im adding the 180 Moment Ruby and the 181 Jeronimo to the list. Anybody have any idea about how stiff these are?
