Wtb 100ish at the waist Tele skis
Yeah I know I am but I ski 400 vert so cut me some slack I need something different than just alpine. Looking at something in the 18m radius range. Loved the G3 Tickets and Axl combo I had but it came up missing this year for some reason that I can't put together. Either way time to move on, what do you have?

Don’t fear the haters. One mocks what they don’t understand.

I guess I identify with your exception. We have 450 ft of vertical but get plenty of snow and plenty of runs that exceed 60%.
Even without that, though, and maybe ESPECIALLY because it’s a smaller hill, fatter/bigger/weird skis relieve the tedium because they’re interesting. Same reason you’d pick up tele, I imagine.....focus.

Tickets are super turny.
And lots of camber. Not stiff. But serious camber.
And a lot narrower than 100.
I’m recalling 80 ish
And yes. Small hills are better on tele.. . .

I've got some 174 Tickets with Hammerheads I only bring out when my wife wants to ski resort groomers. Have some 180 G3 Manhattans with 01s that are 108 underfoot. Also have some Nordica Radicts if you want something wild for your little hill, 127 underfoot, heavily rockered with camber, drilled for HHs but never skied. Also have some G3 Rapid Transits with 01s, maybe 91 underfoot.

I've got a couple pairs I could stand to lose:
'11-'12 (I think?) BD Verdicts, orange topsheets, with Vices - 102 under foot with lots of camber; bases and edges in good shape but could use a sharpen and wax
'15-'16 Blizzard Bushwackers also with Vices, but inserted - 87 or 88 under foot... basically Brahmas without metal... with some camber, nose rocker, relatively flat tail, and skin clips; great edges with one base repair; narrower than you're after, but these are awesome tele skis
(And I ski w/ kids on a small hill in Virginia. Tele makes it more interesting. Especially tele with multiple types of skis and bindings. I've been having a lot of fun on BD Amps this season... we had one powder day... but those skis really help you focus on centering your stance and staying light on your feet!)

I have 2 pairs of Tickets left one has no camber one has plenty. I want something a bit different but somewhat like them in playfulness.
Yeah it is 400ft it is more about picking the right day to ski them not ever day. I have a locker that I can get 5 skis in and I ski 50 days a year in Indiana. Is it ideal no but it is what I have currently.

We get 18" a year on average it more about plowing threw mash potatoes.
