Hello, my name is dynafitdaffy and I ski in montana and the pnw. I am an type 3 skier that skis everything. but, what I'm looking for in this future pair of skis is a ski that performs in 1. Resort crud, bumps, leftovers. 2. Sidehits/jibs/car tracks. 3. Off piste/touring. 4. Rails/park jumps. 5. Some powder. I have another pair of 88 waist designated park skis (On3p filthy rich) Some specific things I like are gapping random side hits, mute 3s, and face shotting myself with snow. I am an 18 year old boh, 6’0, (183 cms) 170 lbs. lets imagine my budget is unlimited so you can give me the widest possible recommendations. I’m planning to put cast 15s on these skis too. My top two choices are the Jeffery 102 and the reckoner 102, but I’d also do a volkl revolt, some surface ski like the atilla, some J ski like the all play or vacation (maybe that’s too soft), or any brand but line or faction. I’ve also heard armada has questionable durability. Thanks for your help!

Jeff 110 over the 100/102 imo. That's the ski you want. Or mangos, if you're looking to ski a little slower.
 
Faction prodigy 3.0. Skis park great. 106 under foot so can ski some fresh snow. Stiffer tail so you can charge some all mountain really well also. One of the most versatile skis I have ever owned

What year are your 3.0s?

I have this year's 3.0s and they are beasts. Only damage on them is from eating shit while tree skiing in quebec but I just came back from 5 days of freeride at whistler and they are in the same condition as before the trip so durability is not a problem at all. They are super easy to move around and good at any speed. 10/10 am skis
 
188 Atomic Bent 110s could be a sweet ride. Haven't had the chance to try them out yet but definetly on my radar as a do-everything ski. Prodigy 3.0s are also a good shout.

Interesting...

From what I've heard this year's are considerably softer than years prior. Wanted to pick them up in 19/20 but never found a pair for demo.

Tried the magnus 102, got it longer so it'd be a little stiffer and that was that.

Yes they are softer in the nose. The tails are a middle stiffness. Stiffer than the Magnus most likely.
 
Ok thanks for the advice so far guys, I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Jeff 102, Jeff 110, reck 102, and nomad 105. What do you guys think out of those options?
