Pow skis I can take to the park

So, I'm looking to get some new skis next year. I need a ski that can really hold its own when it gets deep, but that can also charge hard on groomers, crud, and occasional park laps. I've been looking at the Line SFB and the Moment Deathwish, but I am still not sure at all and I'd be open to suggestions.

I currently have the Line Blends, and they are great, but even though they have some float in powder they leave a lot to be desired.
 
Surface Outsiders...they have a crazy rocker profile which kill it in the park but surprisingly can rip groomers pretty hard. The faster they go the better they become as well. Also crush powder. Got a wicked deal last summer on them for $175
 
I kinda like riding my Pettitors in the park, its fun to dick around and ski rails on them but the few times I've tried landing switch on big jumps it's gone pretty bad, tail rocker and park do not go together. They rip on groomers, at least in the PNW where everything is soft.
 
Anything around 105-110 underfoot: kartel 106, sfb, faction 2.0 (only 102 but I love them), shredditor 112, etc...

iv rode lots of park on the older version of this ski the new life.... works pretty good. kinda feels like im cheesing you can ride park on any ski tho I'v slid rails on some old school straight skis on gaper day...
 
mordecai would be a good consideration. i would expect the 16/17 SFBs to "float" much like the blend given the decreased width. i owned the 14/15 bacon and i would take the mordecai over them for both park and pow.

Another vote here. These things will charge crud hard. They are an amazing one ski quiver. I no longer ski my park skis or my Bentchetlers...these took over those. Super fun on rails with the wonky rocker profile, and i have taken them out on 20" days with no tip dive. They are REAAALLLY fun in the deep.

PS. If anybody wants some older chets - $150.

I've taken my Devastators through the park a bit, hit some rails and tubes on em, and they're pretty fun, but not as playful as other skis. My favorite pow skis in the park so far are my Hellbents, those things are awesome anywhere,anytime. so soft and fun in the park, great for spring skiing.
