Hi, I'm Lanning and I just got off the K2 Mindbender 90C. This is a lot of fun. This is going to want to start tapping into a bit of your wider all-mo...

So that's it. That is the K2 Mindbender 90C. Check this thing out at SkiEssentials

Fischer and Nordica are both race pedigree brands, and K2 has been more of a freestyle/big mountain brand over the years, as a result the K2 Mindbender is like a 4WD Cadillac. It's smooth, predictable, stable, and generally a great ski to crush with.

Atomic’s Maven (93) is a similar core type, though it has a bit less sidecut and imo tends to force longer turns. K2 also makes a Mindbender 90C (carbon, not the TI) that is similarly shaped, but not as stable, and tends to be way cheaper if you want a progression ski to swap out in a few years; I don’t think its necessarily the most versatile option for what you want to do though.

If you felt like the coombas were too much ski, I would cross the enforcers off your list. The other two should work. You could also look at the Salomon QST 92 or K2 Minbender 90c (not the ti)

I have the mindbender 90c aliance as my basic all-mountain ski. But they do go that well with really deep powder as I feel like I have to lean back too much. So I'm looking for a more freeride oriented ski that I can go touring w. The K2 reckoner 102 seem great, as there is a smaller size available since I'm rather short. The only thing is that I feel like they are a bit heavy (1800gr per ski w/out bindings).

K2 Mindbender 90C. The plus to these skis is they will all be great in bumps, the downsides are they leave quite a bit desired on hard snow, even hard snow bump they can feel less grippy than some of the other skis I am going to mention.
