I live on the East coast and I’m an advanced to expert level skier. I’m 5’11” and weigh 175. I had a pair of atomic vantage 100 cti but I am looking for an all mountain ski that is more playful but can still lay a good edge and charge. I ski a lot of tight glades, charge down slopes and hit side hits and cliffs so I’m looking for something a little surfy and also hit some jumps in the park. Given it’s the East coast I also need something that will perform in chop and crud and something I can charge on piste. Im looking for a ski around 100 underfoot and have been thinking about the prodigy 2.0 or the armada arv 96ti but still looking into some other options like the moment pb&j and I’m open to suggestions.
 
Poacher? I was surprised how good it was as an all mtn ski. Maybe not a charger though. Mine is mounted -3 cm from center and I think it is quite a good compromise for park and all mtn.
 
I live on the east coast too and I have a prodigy 2.0 and a CT 2.0, the CT 2.0 is super playful and surfy but the prodigy is where it’s at man it’s probably my favorite ski ever. It’s super solid on park jumps and holds an edge really well on groomers. It’s supportive af on drops and cliffs and super quick edge to edge in the tight trees. Highly recommend it man! Also extra thick edges (2.5x2.5) so it’s durable as shit
 
Awesome, thanks for the insight. Where do you have the prodigy’s mounted?

On the “freestyle” line which is a couple cms back from center. The all mountain line is very traditional, and I think that it messes around too much with the profile of the ski. The freestyle line is right in the middle of the sweet spot imo and it’s super versatile on that line. Lmk if you have any more questions!
 
I was thinking about mounting them between -3 and -5 from center
