what are your guys favorite wider playful skis (105-115mm)? ive been trying to get some prodigy 4.0s but i can't find them in my price range. Also I'm not asking what I should get i wanna hear what you guys like and why then make my decisions based off that.

I have a pair of Line Sir Francis Bacons (104 underfoot) and I love them. they are playful enough to do butters and have lots of pop but at the same time do very well at high speeds on groomers and on steeper ungroomed runs

Kartel 116, best ski I've ever ridden.

Sego Big Horn 106, it was a little too soft for my preference but a really fun slarvey, poppy ski nonetheless, very enjoyable.

Skis I've been liking in this class:

Sego Big Horn 106 - lots of pop, surprisingly good carver, very playful
Kartel 108 - ridiculously fun when conditions are soft
Moment Meridian 107 - same story as Kartel 108
Faction Prodigy 3.0 - super poppy, surprisingly strong, surfy (though a bit narrow for what you're describing)
Icelantic Nomad 115 - one of my favorite pow / chop skis right now
Fischer Ranger 102 FR - not super playful, but very strong and stable with a bit of a playful side (when mounted forward)
Nordica Enforcer 110 - again, not the most playful, but for skiing fast and not spinning a lot, it's my current favorite
Line Sick Day 104 - more directional, but just stupid fun for how light it is.

For me the ARV116 is the funest ski that I’ve ever owned. It handles everything I’ve thrown at it from deep pow to grass skiing.

Just picked up a pair at the end of this season and only got a day on them. So stoked to run through some deep stuff with them this season.

You’ll absolutely love them!! They’re soo fun. Even on chopped and groomer days they’re a blast.
