Starting to build a ski quiver

Heyo, I have been riding a pair of CT 3.0s and really like them (except for one pair braking after 5 days but their warranty is good so hey can’t complain) . But I am now looking for a nice addition to this ski which is a bit softer and more playful, however I am not sure if I want to compliment the softness with a wider pow ski (the 3.0 is 112mm I believe) or a smaller more park like ski? I like buttering and going off piste mostly just feels kind of wasteful to buy something in a similar waist category to what I already have. How have you lot developed your ski quiver?

Tips n trix as well as ski suggestions would be lovely
 
Started off with a 194 Fatypus D Sender, rode that 2 years straight.

I now ride:

Jskis hotshot (anything less than 6 inches deep)

Armada Magic J(anything over 6 inches deep, it's surprisingly good on groomers)

What I need:

A 112 Reckoner
 
I live in midwest so we rarely get anything close to 6 inch of snow so in april im gonna have a pair of wets to round out my quiver as an only park ski, and I have a pair of 102 reckoners for pretty much any fresh, untracked snow and pretty much anything out of the park or streets
 
All my skis are like 108 underfoot LOL. I think shape, flex, mount point etc are more relevant than width. I keep saying I’ll add something like 95ish or something like 116ish but never do
 
If youre only resort skiing 112 is prolly wide enough for anything u could want, Id say get someting smaller, maybe 90-100.

I got some revolt 104s earlier this season and they skied nicely, and even though they were very different skis from my ARV JJ 116, there was so much overlap in the conditions that I would use them for. IMO my options were to never ride my JJs cuz the conditions didnt call for it, or get something smaller for an all mountain/park ski.

I did the latter and sold the revolts and just picked up some nomad 95s which i am FUCKING STOKED about

Yeah, I have a similar train of thought.

I think weight is the most important factor in the feel of a ski. A super light 95mm ski will ski more similar to a super light 110mm ski than a super heavy 95mm ski would imho.
 
Probably going to cop a pair of reckonner 102s, probably floats good enough for some pow jibbing while still being a bit more fun on groomers and rails

Thanks for the input hombres

I added a 95ish dad ski for harder days. I have put like 5 runs on them. That being said. I bought them using amazon gift cards that I traded hotel points in for. So they were basically free.
 
Here are some skis that I can think of that might be what you're looking for:

ON3P Magnus 102

Icelantic Nomad 95

Line Chronics (more of a park ski? not too sure how they ski off piste but I would assume that they are decent)

4 FRNT Vandal

J Skis Allplay

Surface Give'r (probably not as durable as some other options)

Volkl Revolt 104/95 (might be a little stiffer)

I ride Nomad 95s and my friends ride Vandals and Allplays, and we take our skis everywhere on the mountain. I can't speak for the other skis on this list, but the reviews of them that I have seen make them sound very similar
