Best black crows all mountain ski for decently quick turns?

I want a ski that is good in both powder and on the piste and I also want to be able to make quick turns. I’m pretty light and pretty tall (6’1” and 135) and consider myself to be in between intermediate and advanced. I want a ski that I can grow in skill with but not something that will be too hard to ride. Not sure if a ski like this even exists but any help would be welcome.
(Am looking to buy black crows but would be open to other brands)

but fr, I don’t think a ski will magically give u the ability to turn ‘quick’. Just either try some skis and see what fits for you. Keep working on that technique and you’ll be all good

Quick turns and pow don’t always go together the best but I’d recommend the atris and camox from black crow if you want crows.

What I meant was something that would allow me to turn easily. So turn radius on the lower side ig

Honestly don’t know much about them. I recommended what I did based on friends experiences and my own. I demoed the atris on a day with like 6 inches of fresh and it skied like a dream, chargy, could ride switch, snappy turns. The camox is skinnier but would make fast turns, give good stability, and would ski well and smaller amounts of snow too. Just giving ya what I have. Maybe someone else has experience with them.

Line Sakanas are the ski you are looking for. Super short turning radius. Float super well. It’s super fun.

Camox as an all mtn ski or Atris as an all mtn pow ski. My Atris skis feel real short and like to turn so don't be afraid to go a size larger than normal. The camox are really fun too but not as wide, and better in moguls.

mirus cor. been looking at them for a while, met a dude who bought them and he said they handeled boot deep well, but that they excel on groomers. great edgehold and quick turns. he even said that they can compare to some carving skis in the way they feel, just not as grippy on the edge.

I mean,they're 97 underfoot, and have rocker. They'll do okay in lighter pow, not great in deeper pow. Until ~15 years ago, most people considered 100mm as a powder ski anyway.

I saw a guy riding these at my local the other week and they look like ridiculous amounts of fun...not sure about the versatility OP is looking for but I definitely want to get on them at some point.
