Looking for Utah Pow Skis

So I ski everything other than park skis into the ground and that finally happened last year. My 2010 Line SFB's are toast. They were my favorite ski ever. So needless to say I am looking for something similar to replace it.

I am 5' 9"

30 years old

185 lbs

Ski in Big Cottonwood in UT. Brighton and Solitude.

Ski a mix of park and pow with lots of walking in between. I am an aggressive skier but def spend more time playing on terrain then trying to murder it. I am looking for a fat 110+ and comes in a length of between 180-58 that is as playful and forgiving as that 2010 SFB.

Things on my list Line Pescado ( I know ), Armada ARV 116 JJ, J skis Friend, etc. Suggestions?
 
They are in the mid range of softness. I bought them at the end if last year and only got a couple deep days in with them but they are awesome. Forgiving and smooth riding. Super playful

Flex wise how soft? Also how forgiving / playful are they?

Personally found the tips/tails on the JJ (2018-2019 model) to be crazy soft and playful. As in bordering on as flexy as the tip/tail in my Blends, although they ski significantly more stable than Blends as you'd expect. I had a great time on them skiing all mountain in the Alps- piste, bit of chop and a couple of feet of fresh.
 
I ski Brigton and Soli as well. Moment Deathwish get's the job done everyday, I love 'em, best ski I've ever owned. I'd look at those, if you want somethin' wider than 112 look at their Wildcat (Bibby). It floats and absolutely busts crud, not as playful as the Deathwish though.
 
JJs were way too soft for me at your height and weight. Switched to Bibby's and they were a major upgrade in stability while still being 90% as playful.
 
I have 187 hojis and they are very fun and versatile. I have YLEs too but they are heavier and they don't make them any more. Both great skis that I have had out this week. I'd probably just be looking for deals though if you are going to be skiing that great snow in Utah. Lots of interesting Pow ski shapes out there. I'd buy some Pescados if they weren't so much $$$. Way fun but also a pretty light poppy ski so I'd want to keep them as part of a pow ski quiver.
