SimkiwinkiReally depends on the ski but I would say if you only ski offpiste 108-120 is the sweet spot the more you actually like carving short turns on Piste the narrower I would go
airvianI've always skied skis

BigPurpleSkiSuitnone of these, 112 is the perfect witdh for you
WoFlowzAnything under 100 in any disabling of skiing besides racing is pussy shit
airvianI'll probably end up stealing that quote some day
WoFlowzI stole it from the great man Charlie Rumfola my mans skis park on 112underfoot skis with pin telebindings

BradFiAusNzCoCaThis is good advice. I also think that’s the sweet spot. OP needs to look at construction of the ski and what they mostly want it for too.
My all mountain charger is a 107 underfoot, bamboo/carbon fiber core ski with a pretty heavy rocker for blowing through less than ideal snow. I like it because I can lay a mean carve but then ski through all the different snow conditions off piste. But it has its trade offs in heavy, wet snow and bulletproof days.
Just depends on what you want, OP.
airvianCurretnly looking at either the BC Corvus Freebird or Faction Agent 3.0 if I want some better performance on the up or the BC Atris for more performance on the down and a more playful feel. Really hard decision to make as most skis in this class are at least passable for the job.
BradFiAusNzCoCaWhere in the alps do you normally ski? And do you tour a lot?
KCoCMI own both of these skis so I can comment that they are both tits. Volkl Revolt 104 for an all snow conditions all the time ski for off piste. armada arv jj 116 for when it has snowed recently/ you're going stash hunting and are confident youll find untracked lines
EDIT: this is at a resort right? cuz if its sidecountry/backcountry then id say 110+ is a must

airvianAlready have a dedicated touring setup (1500g/ski incl. binding) so looking for something a little more substantial. I usually stick to western Austria and Switzerland (St. Anton, Lech, Laax, Davos Klosters)
severniyGet the Atris. It has progressive mount, it’s playful, it’s reasonably wide for all season ski
Faction agent is very stiff and more directional ski compared to atris. Unless it’s something you like I would avoid them at all cost
airvianI tried the dictator 3.0 once. I liked it, it was a snow sword, but way too stiff and demanding of a ski. I thought the agent might share the strong performance at a softer flex and lighter weight. If it is still as hard to ski as the dictator I'd shy away and go for something like the atris.
