It's not an overly stiff ski, and I think would perform really well for what you're looking to do. The Enforcer was smooth and quick edge to edge with decent float but not super stable at high speeds and the Kore 105 was fun with good float although lacking true carving ability on firm snow and was easily deflected in chop.
