Powder and soft snow ski recommendation

[snowy_owl]

I'm looking for a powder (light to medium depth powder) and soft snow ski recommendation. I want the ski to still be fun once the powder runs out, and be decent on groomers and chopped up snow. So basically an all mountain ski with a soft snow specialty. I live in Colorado and I ski the resorts here. I was looking at the Salomon QST 106, Moment Bella 108 and Dynastar M-Free 108. My current daily drivers are the K2 Mindbender 99Ti and the Line Pandora 99 - I love both of these skis even though the K2 is a directional workhorse and the Line is playful in terms of style. Does anyone have suggestions for me? I'd like to demo but I have not seen Moment or Dynastar demos near me. Thanks!

I’d throw the Blaze 104 into the mix it really eats up the crud and busts through skied out piles. I didn’t get to test it in powder but it was a blast in spring corn and performed well on groomers also. It was very turny and light despite being a crud buster - it’s definitely on the playful side.

Thank you for the recommendation! I feel like I am always skiing through crud and skied out piles. Maybe I can find one to demo nearby to test it out in spring conditions at A-basin.

I love my Sheeva 10's they float really well, I think excel in deep powder, I skied them in snow over my knees Alta (Catherine's) they are really fun and can still carve when not in the off piste.

I’ve just skied my Sheeva 10’a 14 out of the last 15 days! They are fabulous!!

Thank you, I'll check out the Sheeva 10's! That sounds like another great option!
