Wildcat 101 vs Woodsman 100 vs MSP 99

Looking for the right ski to fit in the middle of my current quiver of Enforcer 93 177 cm (early season and hardpack ski) and Wildcat 108 184 cm (pow/chopped up pow ski). Want to stick with Moment/ON3P/4FRNT.

Primary use is several days after a storm where there are a bunch of mounds of refrozen crud off-piste in the trees and bumps where the Enforcer would get hung up as well as being able to rail some groomers, where the 108 is just unnecessary work. Also plan to use for spring corn. Basically the "non-ideal conditions ski". (Note: tried the Raven and didn't gel with it but willing to try the MSP). Would mount Pivots, maybe with CAST for resort uphill.

Live in the CO mountains and get ~50 days/yr; ski the whole resort (no BC, no park). 6' 165 lbs 45 yrs. Length recommendations appreciated as well (I always find myself in between lengths; and it gets trickier with ON3P measurements). Speed limit about 45 mph and value the maneuverability in the trees. I tend to slalom/GS turn the Enforcers while letting the tails loose occasionally, and prefer to pivot/surf the WC108. Thanks!
 
Would recommend a deathwish 104 over the wildcat 101 as the triple camber is ideal for “non ideal conditions”. deathwish line up excel there where the wildcat only deals.

the 101 is tons of fun and its going to ski similar to the 108 just quicker edge to edge and less swing weight.

I also have a cat 108 and find myself grabbing the deathwish 104 when the conditions suck or will be variable.
 
Love the use and ski style description. Many of these threads lack that. Just, HeLp mE cHoOSe A sKI OuT oF tHEsE oNEs.
 
Don't sleep on J Skis Masterblaster! After a ton of research I just picked up the FastForward, which is basically the same ski as the Masterblaster just a bit narrower. I was looking for a ski for exactly the conditions you're describing, only been on it one day so far but it's great, ridiculously poppy and fast, feels like the ski is on rails it charges so hard
 
I'm definitely intrigued by the Woodsman. Had my eye on the 108 forever until I decided on the Wildcats. Can you elaborate a bit on how the Woodsman100 skis and appropriate length? I think I'm between the 176 and 181 cm. From the weight data on their site it seems to be a "medium" weight ski so wasn't sure how it would handle chunk conditions. My other hesitation is whether it would rail groomers as easily as the MSP 99 given its more rockered construction. Thoughts?
