I'm a Colorado skier, 5'10", 200, looking for a new playful, semi chargy ski for a daily driver. Looking for 105-115 ish in the waist that can do pretty much everything. I ski probably 60% sidecountry and backcountry and 40% frontside. I don't ski park, but I'm partial to spins off natural features. Any suggestions?

I LOVE the automatic 109. Only rode it one day but wow that ski was so fun. Sage designed those skis so I expected and was pleased with how fun they were. Though they can be a bit expensive. Super hard charging nice mid fat ski. Can't speak to the others personally though.
 
Line influence, blend, or one of eric pollards skis like the bacons. I love my bacons for all around the mountain! Sorry I ski line haha don't have advice from other companies. Armada may have what you are looking for if you check them out.

What year of the bacons did you have? My brother had a 13/14 pair that he loved, but do you have any experience with the redone 15/16?

I'm not a huge fan of the new one. It's not as versatile of a tool as the old one because of the smaller waist width. I'll put it to you this way. I can get what I want from whoever I want. I decided to keep my bacon from last year around this season because I love it so friggin' much and couldn't find something I liked more. I've had it for about 2 years now which is forever for me with a ski.
 
Ive said it before and will again check out the Rossignol slat does everything its 97 waist but don't let it fool you give it a peep charges hard floatrs well and light swing wieght even though its overall wieght is heavy gives it burley it makes jumps cry
