Chargers

So I’ve learned my riding does not involve a whole lot of tricks anymore maybe (360s grabs etc) and I would rather just Huck cliffs. I’m looking for more of a charger that can handle big cliffs and straight lining at Mach looney. I’m currently skiing Icelantic nomad 105s 191s and armada magic Js looking to redo this portion of the quiver and want something 110-120 underfoot rockered and super stiff. Currently looking at the moment chipotle banana or something similar. I love rocker but most heavily twinned rockered skis are noodles. I’m 5 10 145lbs for reference.
 
if you want to drop the cash, Kartel 116s (can be made extra stiff)

Chipolte Bananas and Meridian 117s from moment are definitely in your spectrum.

Idk but maybe the Volkl Revolt 124s? I think they're stiff and I've definitely seen people on them stomp some crazy shit.

Also the Black crows Nocta is a damp, big ski but may be a bit unwieldy in the range you're looking at.

Moment bibbys are definitely a ski to peep at. More on the playful side but stiffer than the Magic Js and can haul some ass on groomers without getting bucked for sure. Think on3p billy goat with tail rocker.

Possibly Atomic automatic 117s? dunno much about this ski either but seems solid.

If you were looking at a 2 ski quiver, Id say meridian 107s (if you dont mind a ski with a bit of heft in the swing weight department) and the Revolt 124s. I have the meridians and can vouch for their ability to make me ski like my balls are still 20 feet behind me and the revolt 124s seem like a pow ski capable of hucking all sorts of shit but still have that playful, low speed side that many other skis of that gearth dont really have.

If you were going 1 ski quiver, Moment bibbys (now the Wildcat i guess) because they are a do it all, shit eating grin on your face all day type of ski. If you dont mind sacrificing some of the tail rocker for some more mach-ability the billy goats are up your alley too.
 
You might want to check out J skis, you can send in what type of skiing and he will tell you what skis you should get

You dont seem like you're joking so ill inform you... J skis are fucking noodles. The only two skis that J Lev makes with any sort of backbone are the Masterblaster and the Metal. Both of which are a bit too skinny for Op's criteria. I will shed tears of joy on the day they decide to make a hard charging version of the Friend.

their bring out a 114 next year.

i love the bibby's but maybe you want something a little more directional. i seem to remember the Meridian being designer around the chipotle. bibbys would still do everything you want maybe even the governor if you can pick put an old pair
 
Nordica Enforcer Pro (or if you can find some, Nordica Helldorados from a couple years ago) and the Salomon QST 118 would be worth checking out.

Thanks for all the feedback really interested in the revolt 124 but the price tag is kind of heavy. Do you know if the Völkl twos are a similar ski to the revolt 124s? They have the exact same specs and turn radius so makes me curious if they just renamed the ski for marketing purposes.

Yah I was wondering about those they seem heavy as fuck tho 2700 for the biggest pair goddamn
 
Faction 4.0s absolutely rip. And if you have the money, you could send a pair of 5.0s. My local shop gottem in and they’re pretty stiff.
