Crud buster / Stiff freeride ski?

Im looking for a new ski to my quiver, have most bases covered but want something that i can bring out on the days that are not perfect that will let me bust through the cut up variable snow? Did think of the CRJ but have now kind of worked out that its more of a pow ski.  I ski in europe, 175cm tall and about 75 kg, looking for something with a waist around 110mm - 120mm and idealy a twin.  Black Crow corvus 185cm could be a safe bet or maybe blizzard bodacious/cochise...any ideas?

Faction 3.Zero

It's a tank.  If it feels kind of sluggish, you're not going fast enough.

I like the look or the faction, i demoed he royal two years ago andliked it but not skied the 3 zero. What size would say, think the 183 could be too short but the 191 might be too long? As for the shiro ive heard good things, have the kuro but im told its more of powder ski than an all rounded?

I'm 5'11"/195, and I ski the 191 with 916s.

It's a big ski but if you're willing to work it, it will reward you.

Turbo is a great all-mountain ski.  I find it's a little friendlier than my 3.Zero.  I ski it every day.

The 3.Zero is all that the Turbo is, and more.
