Currently daily driving Fischer Ranger 115's, they're great skis and charge big lines hard but I want something a little more playful this season. Theres a few skis im considering, but more opinions would be huge.
Considering:
Faction Prodigy 2.0
Moment Wildcats
4frnt Devastator
ON3P woodsman 115
Armada ARV

Cheers for any advice y'all got

I don't really know what I am talking about but just read all the descriptions on the skis read some reviews on all of them and after that think about the one you liked the most and you think will fit you the best.

Icelantic nomad 105 or 115, volkl revolt 104, or the k2 reckoner 112. All playful and should be able to go anywhere you want to.

mostly big mountain stuff, and ocasionally the park, just want something that can still charge through variable conditions (colorado) but a little more playful than my stiff skis

108 Moment wildcats or ON3P Jeffery 110 are the two I am deciding. I’ve ridden the wildcats and they ripped.

Prodigy 2.0 is a good low tide/park ski at 98
Wildcat 108 is a great daily driver
Devastator is also a great daily driver
Woodsman 116 is a little close to the Fischer, I’d say if anything do a Jeffrey 102 or 110
ARV 106 is also a great daily driver

if you wanna complement the Ranger, I’d look at Jeff 102/110, Wildcat 108 or Devastator. Those 3/4 are playful chargers, so if you’re not skiing big lines but still like to blast through chop and ski fast, they can handle it.

I would go with the Prodigy 3.0s instead of the 2.0. I got this years 3.0 and love them. The 2.0 is more of a park ski. The 3.0 still does good in the park. Swaps and stuff are pretty good considering they are 106 underfoot. The noses are soft so they feel playful, but the tails are stiff so a decent big mountain ski. Pretty stable switch also
