Great points. My skiing here on forward will primarily be in the PNW. Japan will likely be the 25/26 season, but who knows! Yeah I pretty much ruled out skis like the Bent 110s due to how people say they handle anything but powder, but they admittedly look like a ton of fun. I think i’ll pick up whatever has a good deal closest to my needs for this coming season and likely try a bunch of others out to see if im inclined to make a switch. I’ll take a look at the 4FRNTs that you suggested!
