Help: Pow/all mountain ski

Hey guys. Been out of the game for a while with buying skis. Moved out west, going to be skiing Colorado and New Mexico area. Typically will go when conditions are nice, so fresh snow or packed powder. I like to do it all. Pow, trees, jib around, lap some jumps in the park, rip some groomers, etc. Not going to be doing any hiking, will be all resort stuff. Ideally would like something I could mount around -2.5 from center, light enough to throw around and be fun, but stable enough that I can still enjoy normal slopes.

I’m 5’ 11”, 170lbs.

Thinking Armada JJ 116 or Bentchetler 120. I used to have a pair of Bentchetlers back in the day and skied them almost everyday on the east coast. Was fun but honestly it’s been so long I almost forget what it was like to ski them.

I skied some 180 Rossi Sky7’s recently. Had a blast carving hard on packed powered slopes. Held an edge fantastically. However, they felt a little awkward in the air and heavy.

Any thoughts or help is appreciated.
 
Line Outline sounds like it could be up your alley. The thing that separates the Eric Pollard skis IMO is they are a lot of fun on groomers if you prefer short-medium radius turns. Most pow skis have really long turning radius'

Rossi Black Ops 118 (Gamer for 2021) would also be worth checking out if you want something to kinda blast through crud and still play around.

Extremely on point with the Outline description. It’s stupid fun and skis way skinnier than 114 underfoot.
