Looking to add a ski to my quiver for powder days and occasional touring. I have a set of cast touring pivot 15s to mount on once I pick a ski. Looking for something in the 110-120 range. I ski a J skis Vacation most days (104 underfoot) but it’s a noodle and I’m looking for something I can charge on.

Have been eyeing the Armada ARV 116 JJ UL, Whitewalkers, and Bent Chelter 120s but I’m open to other suggestions. Anybody?
 
Dope choices for sure. I’d look at the reckoner 112 or 122. I have the 112 while I haven’t used on powder, is super light compared to other skis that width.

take a look at moment and ON3P touring line as well. They will have some options
 
Didn’t see you wanted charging. Reckoner is more surfy.

in that case 118 BG tour seems perfect, but I’m afraid it’s sold out

Yeah I’ve skied my roommates Reckoner 102s and definitely looking for something that charges harder than those. I really like those ON3Ps but like you said all out of stock.
 
I haven’t skied any of the skis you mentioned but from what I’ve heard, none of those are particularly chargey except for maybe the whitewalker. As mentioned previously, look into some Moments maybe Wildcat tour or maybe meridian tour. Check out some 4FRNT Hojis too (also previously mentioned). Those things seem like they TRUCK
 
Whitewalker for sure!! The 116 UL is a absolute noodle but the WW rips! I mount mine with a kingpin and it is my go to setup for anything! It tours amazing but still charges the resort and pow fantastic, even in chopped up leftovers it handles so damn well! My favorite ski of all time!
 
Actually ordered a pair last night! Thanks man super hype
