I need an everyday ski to compliment my Renegades.
I just can't lug around the rens everyday. Looking at the Shreditor 112. Good skis for everyday normal Loveland stuff? How heavy are they? Just need to give the legs a little rest

Loveland gets that much snow that 112 is an everyday ski there?

i like cocheese. similar rocker profile....ergo bio mech required.
previously was on big bros as my dd, and they wanted to be front driven a lot. it fvcked with my balance going back n forth.
that being said i have some faction p.zero that would do the trick that need to go....minty 191's that slayone step forward, no step backward

This. Not enough info.
Seems most people agree that something in the 100-115mm underfoot range makes a good day-to-day Loveland ski. So many good skis in that range. For me the last few years it's been a 189 Praxis RX, this year it'll be a 186 ON3P Wrengade 112. I tend to ski almost exclusively chair 1 when it hasn't snowed in awhile, generally at unhealthy speeds, and like a ski with camber, a long radius, and that I can drive the tips. I'm on Billygoats when it snows.
I've never skied Rens but have heard a lot of people on here say that finding the balance point on them is hard if you switch back and forth a lot between them and more traditional skis, so what TandA says about picking a ski that also likes a centered stance makes a lot of sense. Maybe a slight reverse camber ski like Cochise, Katana, Gotama, or something with plenty of tip/tail rocker and a more centered mount point - Patron, Jeffrey, Kartel 106, MVP, etc. etc. Too many good skis out there. I don't know much about the Shreditor but it seems like the shape would be fine, I just personally don't like K2s much.

If you can find them, I love my Salomon El Dictator. Flat tail, wee bit of rocker, 114mm waist, 194 cm. basically, they are the Dynastar XXL with slight rocker. Skis are no longer made, it may tough to find them. I also ski on some 196 Renegades as well, my go to RPK3 powder ski.
I have heard solid things about the Line Sick Day 110 from buddies of mine.Always charging it in honor of Flyin' Ryan Hawks.

Only problem wit the Dictators is durability, its also pretty heavy. Great ski otherwise. Sounds like you need weightloss though. I'd look to Praxis for those options. The Freeride comes to mind, but is a bit more traditional. Thats what I'd go with if I needed a lighter everyday ski - that or a PM Gear Lhasa Pow/Bro Fat. Great if you can adapt (I can and don't really understand why people have trouble with that).
