Mid fat playful resort ski
Hello all, wanna help me pick my new middle ski in my quiver?
I tend to like directional skis with set back mounts, but want to stray away from this a little.
Looking for ~185 and ~100mm width, progressive mount, twin tip for skiing slush, groomers and messing about. Don’t want something too floppy.
Will fit into my quiver between 185 sally Xdrive 88 which are my groomer skis and my 184 V Werx katana w/shift which are my ‘every day’ soft snow ski.
I ski Whistler Blackcomb.
Contenders are
Line Sakana- not twin, not progressive mount but sound awesome fun!
Atomic Chetler 100
I am curious to try something like the Devastator, it sounds perfect, only it’s wider than I want and would overlap my Katana’s too much.
Does anyone make a 100mm equivalent of the Devastator?

Just buy the devestators. Mount them -1. Great on firm snow. Crush crud like no other. But still loose and fun.

Devs are a great maritime daily driver imo. personally, PJ is my east coast dd, Devs are west coast Dd. I also mount -1. The 184s ski short. The 194s haul but aren’t that demanding.

The Rustler 10 is a good ski.
If you want something heavier and damper, the J Skis Masterblaster is the closest you're going to get to a 100ish Devastator. Heavy, metal, medium flexing.

Funny you should say that....but already got one of those that I inherited off my old man. Exact same model by the looks of it. Never been out on it.

Skied the Rustler, great skis but looking for something more ‘jibby’ I think.
Master blaster wasn’t on my radar, but is now.

Ross Black Ops 98 also seems to be in the category you're looking for.

Note that this year’s devastators have been made lighter according to 4frnt’s site, so may not crush chop/crud as well as prior versions

ARV 96ti is great.
Moment PB&J is awesome and is what I rock for harder snow play at WB.
If the rustler 10 wasn’t playful enough I dont think the masterblaster will be either.
You should also go checkout the new prior northwest 100/110 it was a super fun ski with some backbone.
Personally I think the black ops 98 skis like shit all mtn and functions more as a wide park ski.

It’s not that the rustler wasn’t playful enough, but I’m kinda after something that’s more of an ‘all mountain jib’ ski...I think.

Then I wouldn't be looking at skis like the Dev or Masterblasters. They are both pretty tanks, even though they are easy to move around on the ground they aren't much fun in the air due to weight.
PB&J, Kartel (or whatever it is named now) are good options. If you want a cheap option, the Dynastar Slice/Menace may fit the bill. If you can find an old Volkl Bridge or Nordica Soul Rider those might work well too.
