i’m looking for a fun all mountain/park ski, I ski pretty hard and don’t like super soft skis and i need the ski to be durable and not break within a season

Magnus 102 or Jeffery 108 would be my choice. M102 have way more sidecut so edge to edge they're very quick. j108 is super fun but more setup for soft snow and whatnot. Pick your poison, both are amazing skis.

i was also considering the bent checker 100’s would that be a good choice too?

I would think the J108 might be overkill for a "fun" east coast all mountain/park ski, they are pretty stout... Reckoner 102 from what I've heard seems like it might fit the bill for you. Corbetts has them for cheap right now

Only way I would suggest the bentchetler 100 is if you said Vanilla.

I don’t think there will be a Jeffery 108 this year, I believe it will now be a 110. Depending on where you ski in the east coast a 110 may not be a good choice for a daily drive. I would pick it all day long as part of a EC two ski quiver.

I have said this in other posts, the Revolt 104 is a super fun EC ski…

Yooo saw you said you ski gunstock so you’ve probably seen me around a bit. I rode the revolt 104’s in the park for the majority of the season and loved em, definitely give em a shot if you can. The 188 was a perfect length as well. Super flexy but only to a certain point and then locks up, only downside is how chattery they are at high speeds, but it’s not the worst I’ve experienced so you should be fine to hit anything at the hill

im late to this one but i was choosing between these a while ago and i went with the reckoners. Very fun ski, they are definetly not as soft as people like to say they are. not stiff really but it took me by surprise how hard it was to butter on them. althouhg I am a kid so take it with a grain of salt

I've dailied both revolt 95s and Kartel 108s for 3 years and the revolts are beat the fuck up but skiable while the Jeffreys are well skied but not beat up minus the core snaps ...

Probably with how I ski each ski. I definitely feel more flowy and sender on the ON3Ps than volkls so that could be a cause. I believe I have some sheer bad luck. I don't believe the ON3Ps have worse durability, as they feel very solid and I'm simply astounded that my volkls still ski alright.
