I'm in the market for new skis and I don't know which ones to buy. I want a ski that can do it all(I know super original) something that can butter, carve, and land cliffs. I'm looking at the K2 Reckoner 102s, RMU Apostle 106, Faction Prodigy 3.0, and the Movement Fly Two 105. Please help me decide.

The Fly Twos look sick. Are you in Europe? When I was on their website, they only shipped in Europe and only to certain countries (e.g. to Sweden but not to Finland)

I have some on3p woodsman 96 and they are definitely the most versatile skis I've ever ridden. Super stable, carve great, good to go in the park, and handle all snow conditions. If I was skiing out west I might size up to the woodsman 108

Do you ski super aggressive and fast or a bit slower and playful? K2 marksman even tho they don’t make them anymore could be up your alley. Their 106 underfoot and once broken in decently butterable and poppy

Honestly, they’re just too hard to find nowadays

They're a semi twin. More directional than park skis, but less directional than similar skis made by other companies. I wouldn't get them if you're doing switch cork 7s all day but they are good to go for switch landings off rails etc.

sometimes I get the feeling mad ppl think that skiing switch on a non sym ski is basically impossible, it's really not

Yeah I feel like it depends way more on the mount than the ski's shape.

Chronics are a good choice[i realize all the other skis were over 100 just throwing it out there] id recomend reckoners, super fun and pretty playful
