So I have money to burn and i figure new skis is a good a choice as any. I want a set of 115~ skis and either adrenaline 16s or guardians for bindings. Terrain would be resorts pre/post season or if I'm bored and bc backcountry and maybe a booter or two. I was thinking something like on3p billy goats or JJ's or something. Any help? Cause I'm not really sure what's good for this kinda thing, anything helps!
 
Having not skied them but read reviews, the Line Mordecai might be one to look at

114mm under foot freestyle pow ski (one of EP's pro models) but they've introduced the new cloud core, so its got super light swing weight (1870g per ski in a 186!) which will make touring with them easier and also if you're hitting booters they'll be good too.

From what i've heard they've also stiffened them up slightly so not quite as surfy as some other pow skis but that might not be what you want anyway.

I used to hate line skis. I hated how dead an heavy they felt but I loved the mordecai. I'm goin for those as my playfull touring ski. I did a review on them back in February I can find if you are interested.
 
Something like the Candice 3.0 might be an option, really durable 112 underfoot for previous years (108 this year), 1850 grams at 182 and a super fun ski overall
 
I just picked up a pair of Volkl ones. They have a lot of rocker and are flat underfoot making them super pivoty/easy to turn quickly in woods. 116 underfoot

these are only good in the deep inbounds stuff they really dont work all that well in the variable conditions of touring.

the billy goats are a great time fasho but they are not twin tipped they ar pin tailed with a little tip in the pack, for on3ps id sat jeffery 114 if you want a twin thats stable at speed.

also look into k2 shreditor 112, line mordecai, and atomic automatic 109s
 
You should check out the 4frnt YLE, they're a little heavier than the Line Mordecai, but I'd imagine if you're looking at guardians you're not too concerned about weight.
