While I do not believe in a "Holy Grail" ski, I AM looking to find a really good "middle ground" ski for East conditions (mainly VT). I am 5'10", 165 lbs., so not a heavyweight. I would put my skiing style more on the finesse side than the power side, and I definitely do not just ski groomers. I have a 98-waist ski which I will use when the snow is decent, but need more of a daily driver for the East that is not just a groomer-zoomer. I am somewhere between 70/30 (on a day with not many options) and 50/50 skier on most days in terms of groomed versus ungroomed/glades/bumps. I am looking for something that can handle those varied conditions well, while still being able to handle Eastern hardpack/ice in a decent fashion. If the ski just wants to rail/carve turns and is hard to release, it's not my ski. If it needs to be overpowered and driven at 100% all the time, it is not my ski. Probably something in the upper-70's to mid-80's in width, prefer not to have a straight/flat tail, and prefer something balanced on the Finesse vs Power scale. In this width, I have demo'd a decent number of options over the last few years. The Wingman 86 Cti was a decent compromise, if not exciting. The Brahma 82 was close as well, although I would like something just a hair more on the finesse side than the Brahma. Would love to hear your suggestions.
