Greeting Ski Experts!

I need your advice. My goal is to have fun on the slopes while being able to ski both groomers and venture off-piste (including between the trees).

I'm an intermediate skier (186 cm, 80 kg) who can handle any piste. I'm currently choosing between two skis:

  1. Head Monster 88
    • Length: 184 cm
    • Dimensions: 134/89/115 mm
    • Turn Radius: 18.9 m
  2. Faction Candide Thovex 2.0
    • Length: 178 cm
    • Dimensions: 133/102/133 mm
    • Turn Radius: 16 m
What do you think is the better option for my goals and skiing style? Maybe some other skis?
Would love to hear your thoughts or recommendations!

Cheers!
