This ski season I successfully blew up a pair of 4frnt cols, rossi scratches, black crows corvus, and my bentchetlers :(
Anyway now that I only have a pair of wren 108 I need to rebuild my quiver.
So ns I'm gonna let you build it for me :)
Ab me, 6'1 180 lbs freeride competitor who dabbles in park
What I need:
100-110mm playful all mtn ski
120mm+ pow ski (similar to bents maybe revolt 121, inthaynes?)
Park ski -100 mm (maybe vishnu wet plus, revolts?)
I'd like to know your thoughts and suggestions, feel free to ask any questions :)

Eh it was a 20 foot drop straight to a rock, blew out the sidewall and ripped the edge straight out. I'm actually getting them warrantied but figured since I spend 90% of my time inbounds with them I'd benefit from a heavier more durable ski so I'm going to sell the chetlers. Def vibe w the icelantic construction but not as much the shape, rode a pair of nomad 115's a few years back, still have them actually. I didn't get along with them too well which may be due to aggressive skiing, but I think it was more the shape them profile (too tight of a sidecut, I like straighter skis) interested in maybe the on3p woodsman. Love my wrens just wish for something more playful.

Little skinnier than you asked for a pow ski but 190 moment wildcat/bibby. Awesome and very durable construction

100-110mm playful all mtn ski
- Jeffrey 108 for a very playful ski with similar stability to the Wren 108

- Woodsman 108 for a more even split between the Wren 108 and Jeffrey 108 (you can drive the Woodsman much harder than the Jeffrey, but it's a bit less surfy vs. the Jeffrey)

- Armada ARV 106Ti for something that slots somewhere between the Jeff and Woodsman (not quite as stable, but lighter in the air, can drive harder than the Jeff)

- Prior Northwest 110 for an alternative to the Jeffrey 108 that you can drive a bit harder. But it'll probably be hard to find for cheap.

120mm+ pow ski
- If you were skiing the old, heavier Bent, I think the Revolt 121 is an awesome choice. It's very stable while also being super loose and surfy. Awesome pow ski.

- Jeffrey 116 for a more stable / heavier option.

- Moment Wildcat for a much lighter ski that's easier to spin while being similar in terms of stability.

- K2 Catamaran for a more playful, less stable alternative to the Revolt 121.

- Line Outline or new Bent Chet 120 if you don't care about mobbing through chop and just want a ski that's super easy to spin and slash around.

This might not be what you want but I have a pair of 2015 bent chetlers in what I'd call 8.5-9/10 condition. They're a bit beefier constructionwise than the current iteration of the bentchetlers so a bit heavier too. Got solid bindings on them too. 192 length

Ahaha this thread’s the funniest gear thread I’ve read in a long time

I’m in a similar place, my old 4frnt YLEs have all but snapped in half at this point. I was thinking about getting some JJs.. you guys think that’d be tight? Any other skis that would be a good replacement?

Yo yo dead set on the revolt 121 yet jw if shifts would do fine if I was using them for 90%inbounds? Haven't tried the shift yet and I'm not completely sure ab durability.

I'm curious why you would mount shifts on the revolt 121...are you planning on touring with them?
