    Name That Ski

    Looking for a touring ski, with this in mind. 185ish cm, tip and tail rocker, camber under foot, 108mm waist, 1700-1900ish grams per ski, medium-ish flex, got any ideas?

    ON3P looks like its almost right but not very light even in tour layup. Supercharger sounds good, any other ideas other than the adrenalated pro model?

    Also considered faction prime 3.0 but seems a little short in a 182 and maybe too much in the 189 for everyday touring

    Blizzard Zero G 108 seems a likely contender.

    Was about to say Liberty Origin 106 but they are a bit heavier than you were thinking.

    It's a great ski and that's a decent review (minus the rocker profile pics -- every pair I've seen in person has less rocker and much more camber), but they seem quite a bit more demanding than what the OP wants.

    Lithic Ramblin Jack, 181. It may not have as much rocker in the tail as you like, but it makes the shorter length more authoritative. It’s still possible to drift it out too, with a fair bit of taper. 108 underfoot, with the inbounds core it lands at 1950 grams.
