Playing with the idea of a new ski for this spring, need recommendations

[byubound]

Hey guys, considering picking up a new ski for spring and hardpack conditions and was hoping for recommendations. Here is my criteria:

Ski will be used for touring like 75% of the time, likely mounted with something lighter like the new moment binding.

I primarily ski in the wasatch.

At present I mostly ski on a WNDR 110 with the rocker profile, and I'm happy with it for the majority of the time. I want something that handles better in hard conditions. The tricky thing for me is that most 100 or less underfoot touring skis seem more designed around doing big days on volcanos or whatever, and that isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I am more concerned with doing dumb jibs in the backcountry than cutting weight hard, and want something that can hopefully handle the occasional day ripping groomers and sidehits at Alta in the spring.

Does such a ski exist? How would something like a mirus cor handle off piste? Maybe something like a jeffery 102 with a touring layup? Wildcard option: skiblades mounted with a touring binding?

Any thoughts or opinions appreciated. Thanks!

If you're primarily jibbing while you're in the backcountry and don't care about weight that much, I have no idea why you'd use a tech binding like the Moments on your setup. Put a cast system on some ARV 96's and huck your meat

Fair, I've never been super stoked on the added complexity of cast but I'll consider it. I guess I'll also course correct a little here and say weight isn't the priority, but still a concern as I'll still be touring full days on whatever I get. Thanks for the suggestion

Line Blade? Seems wicked fun and around right for your purpose.

i mean, youre not wrong

but like line blades mounted with moment voyagers just seems so funny, like imagine seeing someone at your hill ripping that setup

What about the wildcat 101? They're not too heavy.

lib tech ufo? when i bought my ufo's i was shocked bout how light they were. (ufo 95 is 1588 grams per ski) still a super good ski that i can jib on and play around on. idk if it's just placebo, but i think the magne-traction worked for harder days. definetly think you should look into the company, mervin factory seems like one of the most trustworthy and respected factories in all of snowsports
