Woohoo Smith charts!
They could have done WAY better using some of the exemplary work of a certain Mr. Benoit Mandelbrot.

The Mana’s graphics are not only Meh, they are smooth, gloss black top sheets.
Looks like the 2nd one from the left looks like the narrowest and then gets wider going right with deeper rocker and more splay as they go wider. His favourite ski is the CT 5.0 which has lots of splay and flat rocker but the last one on the right here has some camber it looks like but maybe the far left is his new widest?They have a very different rocker profile than the CT.
Man, that splay is YUGE. I mean, that looks like what...20% effective edge?
The Atris would be too light for your size or for anything tracked out after any storm and the lighter weight of the 22 Factions aren’t really great either. The 21 CT 3.0 would be much better but not sure if you can find any 21 190cm 3.0 stock in Europe.was looking at Dynastar M Free 108, Black Crows Atris, Faction Prodigy 3.0 and Faction CT 3.0 22 (attracted by their low weight). Now reading this thread I am obviously tempted to go for the CT 3.0 21 + Duke PTs.
Thanks @GregK! Yeah, these were my thoughts too. The M Free 108 seems like the ski for me, but I have the chance (probably the last one) to get the CT 3.0 21 here so I guess I'll go for it. The M Free 108 will be around in the same form for at least one more season, so eventually I will probably grab that one too, even though they seem to overlap a lot. I guess I can mount the CTs for more pivot (-1.5 from CT line?) and the M Free for more float to get some variation.The Atris would be too light for your size or for anything tracked out after any storm and the lighter weight of the 22 Factions aren’t really great either. The 21 CT 3.0 would be much better but not sure if you can find any 21 190cm 3.0 stock in Europe.
The 192cm MFree 108 would be a more surfy option compared to the 21 CT 3.0 but almost identical weight. Not as precise a carver as the CT 3.0 but a very fun ski.
The 191cm Nordica Unleashed 108 might be another great option. Similar shape to the CT 3.0 but a bit narrower with a little more sidecut and about 100gr lighter. One single sheet of metal so it’s still damp but not as heavy.
So PTs on the 21 CT 3.0's?2021 CT 3.0 > m-free 108
