Here are a tow other skis that come to mind. The Rossi S6 is 110m underfoot and the origian version of this did not have rocker. Deaprtment of Goods has them on sale. The 186 length has a 21.3 meter turns radius. I have nevver skied it but a friend has this ski and really likes it. It's his go to all mountain west coast ski. Quite a bit friendlier than the Girish.

Here it is for $454.

The other one to consder is the Watea 101. This is a very nice ski and the older version has no early rise and is a great carver. Also a reasonably friendly ski to drive. I have skied them many times and it's a wonderful mix of some excellent hard snow ability combined with width that will perform in soft snow. Also an easy ski to find on sale especially the old version that only came in the 192 length.
