A ski like CT 3.0 17

Yo
I just snapped my Faction CT 3.0 from 2017. (Saw less than 25 days of ride time)
Best ski I ever skied. A solid rocker with a few millimeters of camber. Very playful and soft in the nose, but still stiff under foot for groomers. I ski like 60% park and around 25% off piste, and I like a very wide park ski. (100mm+) Anyone got suggestions for a similar ski. Been looking at the wide+ etc, but im from EU.
Thanks

On3p or k2. Both have good options

You could get another pair, I think faction has beefed up the construction on the ct because there were a couple years where they planed the core too thin causing them to snap.

Candide also left the brand so they've renamed the ski to the mana.

Haven't they dramatically changed that ski like 5 times since 2017, heavy to light, stiffer to softer and updated the shape?

Yeah I have been looking at the Mana 3x, but I havent had my hands on it, so idk the flex. But I am strongly considering it.

Yes. I had the 3.0 back in 17/18 and 18/19 and had a new Mana 3 this season and it’s not even close to being the same ski. Other than the dimensions it’s completely different.
