Looking for some durable fairly light and fairly stiff. Want to be able to butter a bit but still have really solid landings.
 
Chronics are good, Al dente's are good, can't really say anything else as they're the only skis that i've skied that fir your criteria.

I would not call the Al Dente a light, stiff ski though.

Maybe look at Armada AR7/Thall or atomic Punx. They could work well, but really we need alot more info from you such as height, weight, age, years skiing, ability, type of terrain skied, skis you have liked and skis you have disliked. Answer those and we can advise some suitabable skis.

Im 5'11" about 145 lbs been skiing for like 5 years, ride mostly park but enjoy the backcountry when there is powder, Im on the east coast. Ive had masterminds, hated them, afterbangs, they were okay but pretty heavy and dynastar distorters which were terrible.
 
Scott Jib TW. Swing weight is crazy light and has enough to give you some great energy and snap. Most under rated ski out there!

as an east coast skiier who owns afterbangs and has skied the mastermind I'd look into the Nordica Soul Rider. I got one and am getting a new one cause I love it so much! Plus I skiied the crap out of it and it has no camber left lol. But, its 97 mm under the foot, so it'll be super stable on and off trail, float in pow because its semi wide and has tip and tail rocker and still rips in the park or anywhere else because it has camber underfoot which gives a ski that pop. If I haven't convinced you, look at any Kieran McVeigh edit, he uses them too and he skis the bush, stowe and all over the east. You'll love em, I promise
 
Scott jibs are probably your best bet if you dig whats going on in that ski.There really is no noticeable rocker profile in person though.

Fischer Guru is also a super underrated ski that sounds very on point for what you are looking for. The tip is wide and has powder-like characteristics, they are durable, have a beautiful flex, and are just really prime skis in general.
