Hey everyone! I am looking to get into a new pair of skis. I have been skiing my whole life, lots of back country, off piste. I am looking for a super playful charger ski that would be decent on all mountain for those resort days. I currently have a pair of q98's that are a bit long for me that charge well but really struggle in trees/play.

I am consider the bent chetler 100, the qst106, any advice?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Moment Meridian 107, more rocker for more maneuverability in trees.

K2 Pettitors. I have a pair of 2017s. They are amazing in super tight trees and have a super tight turning radius but you can really open them up and rip open pow lines and groomers too. They are reasonably stiff but because they have a lot of rocker they are sooo playful and a lot of fun rip around in. The stiffness also makes them super stable at high speeds. I have 60 and 70 mph clocked on them and would not hesitate to go faster. Great for groomers crud and pow. Super duper durable (like K2s are). My only complaint is they do wash out if you get too far back but mine are mounted 4 back from recommended ( I hate that my shop did that) which isn’t really where you want to be. Also my 2017s have SICK graphics if that’s what you’re into.

Good luck buddy
