Are these allmountain skis the right ones for me?

Jo guys, wassup.
I want to buy me new allmountain skis, while ahving some normal rossignol Heros for carving already.
About me:
1,75 cm
65kg
intermidiate to advanced skier
want to drive: 10% park, 40% pist, 50% off-pist.
Skis should go up in Powder, that would be nice.
I thought of an nordica enforcer 100 and the bent chentler 100 from nordica already. I also like Icelanntic kinda.
I want to get more in freeskiing and making tricks a bit as well.
Are these some good Picks? Or is there something better?
Would be happy about your answers.
Have a nice day :)

Yes theyre just boring and generic ski choices. Volkl revolt 104 might be a little more freestyle oriented if youre looking to get into that. Or the armada stranger and definitely check out the new nordica unleased skis

Icelantic Saba 107 or Nomad 105 would be sick choices for what you wanna do! The Saba would be a bit stiffer and less park-oriented, or the Nomad for more of a fat jib ski that can still carve.

A full-rocker shape can take some getting used to, but you'll definitely still be able to carve on the Sabas. Admittedly I've only skied the 117, but it handled groomers perfectly fine once you committed to getting them up on edge. Honestly, all the Icelantics I've skied have had really impressive edge hold for their width.

The Sego Bighorn 106 but it may not be readily available in Europe.

Ok, Looks very interesting. Do you think the Lightweigt Version of the armada arv 106 would be an Option?

Why don't you pick up some black crows atris? At a shortest length of 178, seems like they have a bunch of options for you.

I was actually thinking of them. They seem like they give a good overall Product for me.

Depends what your usage is. I can take my Camox through at least 8-10" of powder, down icy trails, down groomers, etc... haven't had the chance to test in anything deeper than 10" with locally deeper stashes this season. Skier ability, and what you're looking to ski plays a big role. With 40% groomers, seems like the only groomed trails you'd be on are the ones going back to the lift?

Yeah like I have some jefferey 102 that basically replaced them , atris is now a touring ski. Hands down the jefferey is a better ski for me.

How do you guys think would the faction prodigy would be ? That Sounds like a Really nice Option, when Reading the Review. And how is it in comparison With the arv 106?

Because the Flex of the Ski Sounds kinda Perfect for me. Are there any differences between the 2020 Version, and the one atm?
