Nordica
4.6
(33)
"Can’t recommend them enough"
"I absolutely love the pair I got. I’ve tried rustler 9 and 11s, multiple different mindbenders, enforcers, ripsticks, probably 20 different skis."
"I m convinced that i want those ones"
"I've got the declivity 92 ti. Great ski."
"I think it’s the best groomer focused twin tip on the market."
"I just got enforcer 94s and they are great."
"Nordica enforcers."
"I ended up going with the Unleashed 98 with Strive 12s, thanks for the recommendation!"
"The 92 would probably be more versatile for you, but the Unleashed will carve better than either QST even with the extra width."
"Unleashed 98, but the QST would work as well."

Black Crows
4.5
(24)
"Most versatile and forgiving ski Ive been on and flexes even through the whole length."
"Black crow camox"
"Black crows camox"
"I recommend the black crows navis freebird."
"I’ve got this ski and will take it my grave."
"The Freebird is 2X the ski of the Zero G."
"I ended up going with a pair of 178cm Black Crows Camox Freebirds."
"Navis Freebird are just an outstanding ski."
"I can speak to the Navis and ATK Freeraider 15 as being a great combo."
"I think you will love the Navis as an all around ski."
#3
Volkl
4.4
(22)
"Can’t go wrong with Volkl Mantra"
"Volkl Mantra. My choice for best ski ever."
"My favorite is either the Mantra M6 or the Rustler 9. Mantra is a bit stiffer. Both are great all mountain skis."
"I rode a set of Mantras for years, but have loved the narrower waist and smaller turning radius of the Kendos."
"Im a fan of the newer volkl blaze 106."
"Bias on my part but tbt the Kendo is probably more of what you want"
"Volkl Blaze. All the other options are too wide or too specific... And the Blaze is a much better all mountain ski than the BC."
"You sound like a Mantra would work for you."
"Honestly I think you could grab the Volkl Kendos/Mantras or an equivalent ski."
"M6 or M7 Mantra."

Salomon
4.3
(18)
"Happy to join in on the QST 106 love."
"QST 106, I’m on my second pair!"
"QST is a good choice."
"I love my 98s."
"I ski exclusively the pnw and I have been very happy with my qst blanks. Great maneuverability in the trees and they float really well."
"I have the Salomon Rocker2 108s and they are a blast."
"Something like a qst blank 112, reckoner 114 24model, or a rossi sender free 110 more directional all mt may work for you"
"Love my QST 98s."
"It's probably worth it to get something around 100-110."
"I would personally stick between 104-109 for 1 ski to do everything."

Moment
4.8
(16)
"Deathwish by moment - perfect pairing"
"The Deathwish 104 is the ski you are looking for. I have 10 pairs of skis in my basement, the Deathwish 104 is undoubtedly the answer to this question from my quiver and its not particularly close."
"I'd keep my full size Wildcats or Wildcat Tours."
"Anyone that has experience on them gushes about them."
"Moment skis are absolutely rippers. They also look amazing."
"Moment Deathwish 104s or Wildcat 102s for days with less than 6" fresh. The wider versions for deeper days."
"If you're skiing in Tahoe you should buy some Moment skis so all the lifties will give you fist bumps"
"I recommend potentially the Moment Deathwish 104 skis."
"My top recommendation is to check out the Moment deathwish or wildcat."
"I strongly feel that they are a true 1-Ski Quiver ski."
#6
Atomic
4.6
(16)
"Get the 120's"
"Demo’d the 120s on a powder day and was floating like nobody’s business."
"This is the closest I’ve ever skied to a single ski quiver. The 105 width handles New England ice to Utah powder."
"The new Atomic Backland 109 looks like a real hoot."
"Atomic Backland 100 + Atomic Backland Tour bindings."
"Atomic Maverick 88TI (my person fav at this size) are all great in almost all conditions upto like 6-8” of freshies"
"I have the 100s and ride them everywhere and do everything and they are so much fun!"
"Easy recommendations would be: Atomic bent chetler 100."
"Atomic Bentchetler 100. I had them with Shifts then switched to ions."
"If you want to stick with Atomic, Maverick 95 or 88 would be a great complement!"

Blizzard
4.5
(13)
"I’m a big guy and they were perfect for what I needed."
"Anomaly 88 for sure."
"Excellent ski and the 188 length should fit you well."
"Join the Rustler 9 gang, I love them"
"Rustler 10s are a sick ski and fun everywhere."
"If I didn't get to ski Utah snow everyday if probably be on the Blizzard Bonafides."
"I think the anomalys will be a better everyday ski for me for when I stay on piste."
"Like 65% of them were on Rustler 9’s."
"For me, the Rustler 9s are more playful which is great for bump and tree skiing."
"Nordica Unleashed or Blizzard Rustlers sound better for the parameters you gave."

Icelantic
4.8
(8)
"My favorite is either the Mantra M6 or the Rustler 9. Mantra is a bit stiffer. Both are great all mountain skis."
"He got a pair of Rustler 9s last year. Skied through everything the Rockies and VT had to offer. He loved them."
"Rustler 9 all the way! More agile and lighter swing weight than the Enforcers."
"Rustler 9 and look for last year’s model because it’s a little less free ride oriented and will work well for what you listed."
"New Rustler 9 sounds to me like exactly what you're looking for as long as it isn't too wide under foot."
"Or the Icelandic Nomad 105. Those skis are super bomber and can take a beating."
"I have no regrets. Also used them on deep days out West and as a BC setup."
"If you are looking for something lighter and more smeary on the turns then I’d recommend icelantic Nomads."

Rossignol

(8)
"I loved the unleashed so much when i demo’d them."
"I daily an Atris and went Rossi sender free 110 for a pow ski."
"I got a unleashed 98 for next season. I ski east and west and have 88mm (2019 Brahma), the unleashed 98 - essentially my daily out west or east when it has decent snow."
"Currently on my second pair of Enforcer Free 104. If you can deal with the weight, these ski can take anything."
"Enforcer unlimited 104 is probably the closest you will probably find."
"Something like a qst blank 112, reckoner 114 24model, or a rossi sender free 110 more directional all mt may work for you"
"Rossignol Sender 104 Ti"
"I just demoed the Sender 110 Frees last weekend in decent snow. I really liked the shape and feel of the skis."

Rustler
4.1
(7)
"I love my 23 Rustler 10s. Crazy versatile skis."
"Rustler and if there is an unusually big dump, rent fatties"
"The Rustler is the practical choice, could only bring that and you'd be okay."
"Bring the Rustlers"
"I have rustler 9s that I use for west trips that I take as my only ski."
"I'd go wider for a Utah ski, unless you specifically avoid powder days. Rustler 10 in the low 170s."
"Rustler 10 or 11 perhaps?"
#11

"Plenty of Dynastar MFree 108s up LCC."
"You have a link? I dont see any with free binding. https://www.levelninesports.com/product/dynastar-m-free-108-skis-2024"
"Level 9 has the mfree 108s for 640 and free bindings with it."
"Dynasties M free 108s. Your searching for a mythical being btw."

K2

"I picked up the Enforcer 94’s this year. I was looking for a good, all-mountain ski that was truly versatile and the Enforcer delivers!"
"Yeah I like enforcer 94. I’m thinking to get one a little bit more playful, but also hope it can handle the heavy wet pnw snow."
"Mindbender 89ti or Kendo 88"
"Mindbender 89ti for all round performanxe"
"K2 mindbenders would be a cool one to look at."
#15
Line
4.2
(5)
"I'd throw the Line Blade in that list to demo too. I've had a pair for a three seasons now and they ski like my park skis and old GS race skis had a bastard love child. I absolutely love them."
"New skis but last years stock and with bindings. That's not a bad deal."
"M-Cross 88, Line Blade, and Mirus Cor are where it's at for the "fun carver" addition to the quiver."
"Line Sir Francis Bacon 🥓 all day."
"I would go with the sir francis bacon by line. They offer a really good all around ski."

"Rustler 9 is the answer to all your problems"
"The Rustler 9 will still be a noteworthy upgrade in dampness and edge hold."
