I am looking for a follow-on ski to my Volkl Kendo 2016, which I love. I ski in the west (mostly UT & CO) and probably spend 50/50 of my time on & off-piste. On-piste is usually to warm up, practice technique, getting to off-piste terrain, when off piste is unskiable (frozen) or if my quads are shot. I am 5'8", 150lbs and an advanced skier (expert wanabe). I ski a lot of expert terrain but not like an expert would Something that feels solid on ice is imperative, like the Kendos do, and something that is OK in powder if I am lucky enough to ski it. My Kendos are 90mm underfoot but I am thinking of moving up to 100mm underfoot. I dont like floppy paddles like the Soul 7 or some of the Blizzard skis; I have demo'ed those in the past. Would appreciate any recommendations, especially from people who have skied Kendos. Thanks.
p.s. Attaching a pic of my outdated Kendos to jog your memory, as I dont see them around anymore
