Women's All-Mountain Ski in Utah

I'm looking to get a new pair of skis for my partner. She's 5'7" and is looking for something around 170cm and 108 underfoot. We ski mostly powder in Utah. She's an expert skier and can hit pretty much anything. Looking for an all-mountain ski that's stable and responsive.

She's been skiing some 2017 Rossy Soul 7s (https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/rossignol-soul-7-hd-w-womens-2017) and doesn't feel like they are responsive enough. She recently demoed some 2022 Volkl Blaze 106s (https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/volkl-blaze-106-2022) and liked those much better. I'm guessing that she liked the stiffer ski with a sharper (newer) edge.

Any suggestions on what ski to get? She could just get those Volkl Blaze skis, but I'm curious what other options might be out there.

I ski some old ON3P Kartel 108s and love them. I'm curious if a woodsman 108 would be the right choice for her? She doesn't ski switch much, but we ski playfully and often hit jumps within the trees.

Thanks in advance!
 
Yoooo! I have a pair of 177 Icelantic Maiden 111s with some pivot 14s that I'm looking to sell. Let me know if you want more details.
 
Salomon blanks - I've had mine for a season now (were a gift from bae) and they are kick ass. For fresh soft snow they are the perfect ski.

For something a bit narrower underfoot, I've been skiing the k2 poachers and they are my go-to rock solid choice for a less-than-fresh pow day. Stuff enough to charge big lines but still super fun through the park. Would recommend.

I'm a bit taller, 5'9" and ski closer to a 180. A slightly longer ski, somewhere 175 not a women's ski might not be a terrible idea if she's charging.
 
Maybe a Faction Dancer or Zag Harfang 106? Those might be more directional though. Sounds like she likes directional skis, but the Blaze has a similar tail profile to a Cochise so is probably a bit looser than the average directional. If she gets along with the Blaze I say go for it.
