I am looking for an all mountain ski to ski both in the resort and take in to the backcountry, but slightly more touring oriented. Somewhere in the 100-108 range under foot. What I have been looking at are the:

Faction Candide 3.0

Whitedot R.108 Carbonlite

Line Sick Day tourist

Armada Kufo 103

Black Crows Corvus/Navis Freebird

Any suggestions?
 
Personally, I hated the Candide 3.0. I didn't get to test it in ideal conditions( spring slush) but it just felt lifeless at low speed, and wasn't very playful. (The opposite of this can be said at higher speeds, that's when it came to life). However, I like a ski thats playful and can shit down speed with a quick slash but still chargy enough to tackle most lines, and there's a ton of other skis I would choose over the 3.0

Take a look at next years k2 marksmen, kufo 108 or even Salomon QST (those were just first impressions, it could turn out that the 3.0 is a blast in conditions/environments that I didnt get to demo it in)
 
Whats the deal on those K2 Marksman? Profile looks super sick, but asymmetrical? Also i can't find any details on dimension either. Regardless looks fun as fuck

106 underfoot, Shreditor 102/112 and pinnacle hybred. Could be perfect for this kind of skis.

Also consider Kitten Factory All Mountain 105. Reviewing a pair now and I'm impressed so far
