Stiff, close to symmetrical ski

Recommend me a stiff, symmetrical or close ski with preferably a waist in the 90's. Needs to be able to handle park but also the soft snow when and if it arrives. I used to race, so even if I don't have the widest ski in powder my technique should be able to correct that a little :). Rockered would be pretty cool.

Moment rocker?

Armada Halo?
 
Rossi S5, very stiff (one of the stiffer skis I've felt), 96 underfoot (a good 50/50 ski), not quite symmetrical, but 7mm is close (actual dimensions are 126-96-119). And they're Rockered.

Other than those, Revivals, Rockers or Walls would be top choices.
 
ON3P Jeronimo. It's exactly what you described and that's why I got it last year. You won't be disappointed.

There are obviously other options....but that is perfect.

 
i second this! i want a pair of the 10/11 chronic cryptonites so damn bad. i havent heard one bad thing about them. and the revivals look super sick too.
 
Walls for sure. I skied the Karmas (virtually the same ski) for years and love them so much I still ski them even after they've delaminated and have a bolt tolding the tips/tails together.
 
Oh, and check out the new Salomon 2012's. They're not symmetrical but they're close, and they fit your description perfectly.
 
2012's are a fairly soft skis, at least according to the freeskier review. I'd personally say chronics, they are a very close to symmetrical ski, and kill it in pretty much anything.
 
like how soft? i haven't fondled a pair yet? i mean, if mike douglas can rave about their big mtn ability, they can't be THAT soft...

to me, they seem like the Guns with rocker.
 
In no real order...

Nordica Zero (130-104-130)

ON3P Jeronimo (126-96-120)

Liberty Morphic (126-94-119)

..would be my choices. Little rocker in them all, Zero is gonna be the most powder savvy, the Morphic and Jeronimo are similar skis (in my head, I haven't skied the Jeronimo yet) with high quality bases (J-mo's is better, with a better finish I hear), sidewall construction, little tip and tail rocker, bamboo cores, carbon stringers.

The others (Cryptonite, 2012, Kung Fujas, whatever else has been suggested) is probably a little soft, more buttery and playful, but those three are banger all mountain park-savvy skis. Tons of life, stiffer flex, super high quality, pretty well priced.
