So i ride 195 ak jj's every day, and while i love them and have a blast, im lookin for something a little shorter, lighter, and whippier for the days when there is zero fresh. i'm 6'2" 190 lbs. I prefer stiffer skis with rocker camber rocker, and also im trying to get into park more.

What do u guys recommend, around 100 underfoot, on the stiffer side? cheers
 
Maybe a little wider than you want...my Surface Outsiders are awesome. So much pop and can hold an edge pretty solid. 109 underfoot. Crazy rocker on them and they are also stiff as a board. Highly recommend. Don't be scared by the rocker profile.
 
Candide 2.0 (102mm)

They rip, are really light, rocker camber rocker, actually pretty stiff especially if you take the 184 (which I would guess you'd take anyway)

Yeah i think with those the overlap would be too much with the jj's, but they look bomber

I actually demoed the devastators, and didn't really like them as much as i thought i would

Having only ridden them for two weeks it is a little difficult to say, but I have hooked up on a couple of rails and also slammed the tips hard right into the metal edge of a box and nothing has happened to the skis. no chips and the matte color disguises the scratches pretty well. If you can live with the colours you should get them.
 
I dont' want to be the "BUY ON3P" guy, but I love my Jmo's. I know they don't make them anymore, but they are pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

Are the Kartel's pretty much the same or what did they change?
 
Icelantic Nomads might be a good choice. I just got the skinny version and they're great; super light, poppy, fun! heard great things about the wider version too.

they're 105 underfoot, rated a 7 stiffness out of 10, rocker camber rocker, and all mtn twins. not super ideal for that east coast ice, but manageable and absolutely rip everywhere else!

i got mine from here, they mounted pivots for free.

Update on durability!

The bases are insane!! landed on some rocks on a road and I was sure there would be some seriously deep scratches, but there is nothing to see! They seem really well build :)

They're pretty much the same. Ones more park friendly other is more pow friendly.

I will recommend ON3P myself. I love the Kartels and even though the rocker makes them super playful the actual flex is pretty stiff. They charge all over. The 106 has been a great one ski quiver for me out here in the Rockies.
 
I love my 2015 SFBs. 108 underfoot, rocker camber rocker, super fun ski. I dont hit rails, but I throw tricks off jumps in the park and shred the rest of the mountain with them.
 
Salomon Rocker2 100 is exactly what you're looking for. I've been riding them all season and love them. Pretty light and stiff. Very fun quick ski.
