These are the finalists for my new area/sidecountry boards. Anybody here skied both, and care to comment?

This is my short list too. I'm also sitting on a good deal on a Dynastar 105. If it's not too much of a thread steal I'd be keen on hearing pros & cons involving that ski too. Ta

skied both: very different skis in my opinion. 112 much turnier (as expected), better powder ski, more fun. smooth ski. Cochise is also an awesome ski but much more of a crud busting, wind affected hard charging tool. Don't get me wrong, this is also a lot of fun just more serious. Super stable not overly damp.

Did you happen to ski the 112RP Pure as well?
