Title says it all. Looking for any and all suggestions a directional, chargy DD for Colorado and Tahoe.

I ride the camox as my every day ski.

It’s playful enough to fly off some side hits and little jumps around the mountain.The tips and tails are also just soft enough to get some small butters.

However the ski is still super good at holding an edge and pushes you through turns,strong and chargy yet it skips through moguls and trees

The rocker and 97mm width is fine for jumping off the run for a few fluffy turns also

The durability is better than most but not 100% bombproof.

enforcer 100. might not be as "cool" but chargy AF and easy to shut down. damp, stable, carves like a mf

These have intrigued me as well. I demo'd a pair last year, but conditions sucked and visibility that day was zero so wasn't a fair test. Blister seems to love them so they are definitely in the running.
 
soooo much energy in the tails. be careful when flexing them deep into a quick, high angle carve - they'll try to blast your legs off
 
I have the 2017 Black Crow Camox and ski them most days at Bridger. I mounted them 3.5 or 4cm back from center and like them, though they feel a little soft in the tails and get tossed around in crud more than I like. They carve really well though and feel good at high speeds if it's not to bumpy, and they're very light and fun to mess around on. I think I would like them better if they were mounted further back but they are what I ride in the park so I wanted them mounted more forward. The topsheets on the Camox's have not held up well at all either, even after just one season of minimal use in the park, and I've never been particularly tough on topsheets. The Camox's replaced a pair of 2013 Atomic Alibis that broke, and to be honest I liked the Alibis better. Not sure how the newer models ride but they would be worth looking into. Those skis were super stable, carved amazing, and were better in deeper snow than the Camox. You might look into the Armada TST and ARV 106 Ti, those seem like they would do well for what you want and I've always enjoyed the Armada's I've ridden. Another option might be some K2 Shreditors - I rode a pair of the 112s from a few years ago for a season on most days and loved them. ON3P Wrenegades rip too, I still have a pair of the first generation ones and always enjoy skiing them. Most stable ski's I've ever been on, and great durability too.
