Replacement for Salomon X-Screams?

Looking to replace my 4-years old Salomon X-Screams (which I love) for
all-mountain skiing around Pacific Northwest (50% piste, 50% off).
50 YO advanced (not expert) athletic (but not aggressive) skier.

How does their new line compare?

Which would be the most similar ski from their current line? XW Tornado,
Blast, or other?

I pretty much match your specs and
very much enjoy my 1 year old K2 Apache Recons.
Very stable, but easy to turn. Go anywhere.

Do you ski at Stevens?

The Salamon Scrambler "Hot" w/ the S910 bindings is basically the
modern equivilent of the old Scream Pilots.

I just tried em out last weekend. MUY bueno. Oh, and I used to ski the
Scream Pilots...Sucker for Salamon's ever since the days of the Force
9...damn I loved that ski.

I would suggest you demo the 1080 Gun. My stats are close to yours.
When I traded my X-Screams for the Pocket Rockets (which have evolved
into the Gun) it was such a huge step up that I still get a big grin
when I think of those first few days. When I went to trails that had
previously presented me with enough challenge that I felt proud to make
it down without hurting myself, suddenly I was ripping with speed and
grace. I say give 'em a try, you may never go back to mid-fat again.
