I currently ski the Dynaster XXL Pro in 187 and i'm looking for something with rocker, with a little more width and little tigher radius. The main thing I like about the XXL is that it's pretty much a fat race ski. I like the relatively low wieght and poppy feel and long turn stability but hate the super turned up short nose.
Any Ideas as to how the Zealot would compare?

the zealot could be a good option to fill the gap youre describing. this has more of a race ski construction than previous years for sure. however, even the new zealot will not be as stiff as your current set up and therefore, it will be less stable in all conditions except powder. my suggestion would be to take a look at the new blizzard bodacious. it is built like a fat race ski and has a very very very subtle rocker profile running throughout the ski. this allows it to rip on variable/crud/hardpack conditions with ease while having a poppy, playful feel in powder when you need it.
