Ultimate one ski quiver for the East Coast

Been looking into getting a new pair of skis. For reference...I ski at Stratton 90% of the time and venture to other mountains / out west once a year on occasion. I am a very strong skier been skiing since 2 and have a racing background so I love going fast and putting my skis on the edge hard...this has been leading me to my ski conflicts.

I currently have a pair of race/carving skis for icy days.

I also have been riding Surface Watchlifes for the past 4 years. I love the ski to death and they are great for southern VT on most days. They struggle a bit in crud / deeper snow which is why I want wider skis. I love surface but it seems that all their new skis have a ton of rocker which I really don't want.

I'm not a huge gearhead but am looking for a ski with 100-105 mm waste, some rocker, but also something that has camber for holding an edge on groomers still. I also don't have a budget and can spend wahtever. Any suggestions?

Kartel 106 sounds like what you're lookin for it. Check it out on the ON3P site.

Thanks man those look pretty ideal for what I want / how I ride. I dont think 106 is to wide Im a very strong / aggressive skier.

Anyone have any experience with the Atomic alibi's or the atomic Vantage ritual's?

Always been a big atomic fan been riding their race skis for a while and haev heard good things about those models as well
 
if budget isn't a primary concern, have you considered having a 2 pair quiver? that's how ive always gone, whether im out west or back east

i use a fat ish park ski (armada ARVs, now revision talismans) for most stuff including a little new snow, then have a fatter charger pair for when there's actually lots of snow or more serious terrain (volkl katana)

i def feel you on the one pair quiver but you mentioned the lack of a serious budget problem so yeah that's my 2 cents
