Hey, so I’m 15, 5’7 and 140lbs and I was wondering which ski fits best for me

I’ve been skiing for 12 years and I was looking at some skis and wanted so input on which ski would fit me best for sending cliffs, big jumps and also shreds powder, overall a hard chargering powder ski with good pop and flex, I’m a well experiment skier (3+) and wanted some input, here are the skis I was looking at:

Atomic Benchetler 120

On3p Kartel 116

Sego Bighorn 106
 
Bent 120: Super light, gonna be a sick 50/50 or touring gun but isn't really an inbounds charger.

K116: Super playful rocker profile and flex but enough weight to tear a resort up.

Big Horn 106: Versatile waist width (if this is your only ski) pretty light so might not be able to rage through variable snow.

But have you heard about our lord and savior, the Moment Wildcat?
 
Kartel 116 is the best ski I've ever ridden. Daily Driver at Alta. Could definitely go to the 108 for low tide days but I tour mostly on those days and it still rips. Never found a better ski before.

I've only skied on the big horn 106 and it's not a charger at all. It's super fun in a jibby, poppy kind of way but it's too soft shoveled to really push in variable snow.

Yeah I was leaning more forwards this one, thanks!
 
Just to throw a wrench in the mix Rossignol Black ops are one of the baddest skis out there. Jibby and fun to mess around with but they have a friggen back bone for stompin and hard chargin. They also ski groomers really well but who the fuck cares about that am I right?

They weigh half as much as OP though.

FWIW, I'm 5'8", ~155 lbs and the 186 cm Black Ops 118 is my favorite resort pow ski ever. But it is a lot of ski, and it feels like it. I'd say between the Kartel 116, Moment Wildcat, and Black Ops 118 you can't go wrong. Go Wildcat if you want a ski that's easier to spin and are willing to deal with a slight drop in stability in chop, or go with the Kartel 116 or BO 118 if you want a chargier, more damp ski and are willing to a deal with a heavier weight.

Is the kartel still good best for spins, flips jumps and drops due to its flex, pop and light weight or are the ops or wildcat better while still good for charging/pow

I haven't skied the Kartel 116, but based on what others have said and the skis' specs, I'd say the Wildcat will feel the lightest in the air, then the Kartel, then the Black Ops 118.
 
While I have not skied the k116, I can say the wildcat has a much more torsionally rigid feeling and almost more racey (probably due to the longer radius) while the k108 is much more turney and softer in the tips. To be fair I feel I have more fun with the Bibbys however the k108 is a awesome daily driver.
