I'm 5'11", about 175lbs and live on the east coast as stated. I'm looking for a touring ski in the 95-100mm and 1500-1700g range for spring backcountry. I'll be skiing up in the White Mountains a lot and some glades so I'm looking for something stable and damp but also poppy/playful and maneuverable. I've been thinking about the:

Line Vision 98

Armada Tracer 98

Line Sick Day 94

Can anyone speak on any of these skis or have any other recommendations?

I'm also deciding between the Fritschi Vipec, Rotation 12, and G3 Ion so if you have any thoughts on those as well let me know. Thanks!
 
I’ve already got a DPS Alchemist Wailer with a pair of shifts so I’m looking to diversify my quiver.

That’s like almost a qtr pound man! Chicken legs can’t tour with an extra 100gs

Sounds like a nice setup

Are you looking for something more narrow, or more width? Either way I wouldn’t limit myself to lightweight, but I don’t mind the extra weight.

most people don’t realize that a blackops118 is only 4.4lbs heavier per pair than say a vision 98... That’s just not that much, rather have the stability myself

Definitely narrower for East coast spring touring. I’m leaving towards the tracer 98. I guess weight isn’t my top priority but definitely want to lean to the lighter side.
