I am 5'7/157 and currently have the Rossignol B3s as my all mountain ski and they are very versatile and loyal under all conditions, although it chatters at higher speeds. I ski pretty much everything under any conditions and I want to switch to AT and I wonder what ski to choose for 60~70/30~ out-in. The Havocs 165 seem to be very much what I am looking for, but as light skier I still would like to count with the responsiveness of the B3 on deep snow. Could someone advise?.
Other skis seen are: Mt.Baker, Rapid Transit and RT86. What do you think?. I am bit lost here as there are so many good options!

Havoc skis a bit stiff, not as soft and even flexing in the pow for sure. The mt bakers will ski the pow better for someone your size. I wold also recommend the Karhu Storm BCs...
