You are still going to have to make a choice, but we will narrow it down to just two based with different stiffness. The Nordica NRGy 100 with medium to stiff flex or the Völkl Mantra with its very stiff flex and waists of 95mm and 100mm, respectively, are excellent high-performing, all-around skis that handle almost any conditions you can throw at them. These float well on fresh, deep days, blast through chop and crud and dodge trees with fast, tight turns on the groomers or ice.
