6’1 175lbs, looking for a playful ski that can do everything

Hey guys!
I’m looking to invest in a new pair of skis either for the end of this season or next. Right now I’m riding 2014 blizzard
peacemakers. I really enjoy these skis and how I can charge just about anywhere. Looking for a similar ski (twin tip) but with more flex. I’m hoping I can find a pair with more flex but still able to stomp drops and jumps without washing out. Let me know your suggestions.

happy shredding

Line Blend I’m a bit biased, Faction has the Prodigy series, Armada Edollo Henrik is an animal. Those are few of many though depends on price range and personal preference.

Icelantic Nomad 105 is a great jack of all trades.

@BigBangOofSkier I believe the Prodigy is the softer out of the two, I know some people do like the CT 1.0 for park but it’s more of an aggressive ski overall.

Personally I’ve enjoyed (in order) the K2 Reckoner 102,Prodigy 2.0, ARV 96 or ON3P Jeffrey 96/102. The Jeffrey will be the stiffest of what I mentioned but because of the rocker they can still be very poppy and buttery. The Reckoner is by far one of my favorite skis because it’s softish but torsionally stiff (realllly good edge hold).

I would say a revolt 104. It’s still stable where you can charge it but has some playfulness to it
