I'm looking for the ideal all mountain ski. I live and ski in Coloraodo. 50/50 inbouds and BC. I'm a former racer, 5' 11'', 175 lbs and tend to ski everywhere, including bowls, steeps, tight trees and bumps and need something that not only floats in pow, but turns well in tight spaces and rails at Mach 1. I do a bit of touring, but mostly for fitness, so would trade extra weight for downhill performance.Does such a ski exist? I have been on the Rossi B3s (188s) for the last four seasons (with Freerides and Scarpa Tornado TTs) and found them to be versatile, but too chattery in mank and far too twitchy at high speed. Can anyone provide a comparison between the Verdicts, the Rossi B94, the Volkl Mantra and/or the G3 Reverends, or recommend another so called "quiver of one" ski?Many thanks.
