New ski hunt

Hey all, I've been looking at getting some skis with a waist between 102-110 for a daily ripper in the PNW. I am 6'1" and 190lbs. and am looking for something that's can handle quick turns in trees while being able to rip through some heavy crud. I also enjoy popping off features anywhere around the mountain so a ski that stiff as a board won't work (example: Cochise). I've been taking a look at these skis:

ON3P Kartel 108 (191)

ON3P Wrenegade 108 (189)

Icelantic Nomad 105 (191)

J Skis "The Metal" (186)

Blizzard Peacemakers (186)

Volkl 100Eight (189)

I would really appreciate some input on which ski would best suite my riding style. Agian, something that can hold its own on crud and hardpack while still having good float and a quick poppy abilities. All input is wanted! Thanks!

Wrenegade 108 sounds most like your style. Super good ski too

Thanks for the response! Also, since the wren is stiffer, are you sure it could handle tight maneuvers and not get hung up?

It would be more turning radius than stiffness in the trees. But you will be fine.
