G3 Ski help

I'm looking at getting a pair of G3 skis and wondering if anyone has a pair and can give me some suggestions.

Mostly will be using these to do some touring with friends and also will be hitting some resort groomers with my kids.

So I want something resonable light that can handle powder and also keep a good edge on the groomed runs.

Right now I have been leaning towards the Tonic, Saint or Infidel.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

The Tonic

All of the above fit your needs, but reading into it the Tonic is likely your best bet. If you're mostly on the resort, consider the Infidel though, it's a really fun and lively ski. The Tonic will be better suited for your touring days, being a bit lighter, a few more mm underfoot, designed with more of a touring focus than the Infidel. And besides, you might end up leaving your kids in the dust if you're skiing the Infidels.  ;)

The Saint is a great ski as well but it's pretty backcountry focused, lighter weight, longer days.

Go Tonic, I mainly sled ski,

Go Tonic, I mainly sled ski, ski tour, tour off sleds and cat and heli ski, I used the tonic all last season for everything and it was perfect in everything, just adding some highballs for the deeper days and already love touring on them.

Got them this year and they are really amasing. super light but with a 105 under foot.

I used them mostly for backcountry, but really good control I would take them to the resort anytime.
I got mine for like 450$ at mec with last year model!
