Off-Piste Complement to Park/Instructing Kit?

Hello, I'm looking for a good complement to my current one-ski quiver, a pair of ARV86s in 163cm with Warden 11 bindings.

I originally got the skis as park and teaching skis at the small, icy east coast resort I started at, but when I worked in Oregon last winter break I realized I would like another pair that would be more comfortable in deeper and steeper snow and more complicated natural terrain than the frozen groomers and parks of the east coast. A major issue with the ARVs was that I had to constantly lean back to keep the tips from sinking and sticking in the snow. This pair would be solely for hopping across the resort, off-piste, simple airs, grabs, spins. Ideally something fun to ollie/nollie and butter on, so not too stiff. Do you guys have any ideas? I've been thinking about the moment deathwish or J skis vacation

I am 5'5" (165cm) 150lbs.
 
The Deathwish is a beautiful ski. I would love to have a pair of those. I have a pair of ARV 116s and they are great if you like something that feels like a park ski but floats in powder.
