Ideas for new skis

Looking for a new set of all mountain sticks. Looking for ideas in the 95-103mm range that's playful but stable at speed. I spend about 70% on trail and 30% off (Bumps, Bowls, Trees) and I only really hit natural features so I don't need a dedicated park ski but I like a twin tip and skiing switch. I've been thinking about J's or Moments because I haven't skied any of these smaller brands but I am open to anything.

I’ve heard great things about Jefferys they are pricy. Also heard Great things about Revolt 104s. Never ridden them myself but might be something to look into. Some NS members ride them so I’m sure they’ll have some input on this or suggest them

gets recommended a lot on here but the Jeffry is kinda perfect for that kind of riding, even the 108 is really good as a daily driver

Where do you ski?

skis that come to mind - ON3P Jeffrey, Moment meridian (damn I want a pair), J Skis masterblaster, or Völkl revolt 104 like mentioned earlier. Another that comes to mind (but maybe isn’t as “cool” as the others) is the Fischer ranger 102 fr. Heard some amazing things about it and can ride it in the park.

wildcard: fauna pioneer. They’ve got a NS deal too.

I would check out the woodsmans, they aren't a full twin tip but they go backwards just fine, I have the 96s and skied them in the park all season. Very stable, great for ripping the piste, but also with enough rocker to be playful and shred off piste

$515 for a new 105 underfoot in a 180. Not a bad price at all for BPM..
