Best allround ski for me?

I'm looking for a ski I can take anywhere. Will probably be used 60% in powder and 40% park/slopes.
Need something that floats well in powder, can be used in the park and are have grip on icy slopes. Waist should be below 100mm and length about 180cm. Should be pretty stiff and responsive too.
I'm using Salomon CR labs and Gun labs now, need something in between.
Was thinking about the Line Prophet 90, but are they really usable in groomed slopes?
Thanks for any answers.

Chronic blend in 179.. its the same specs as the phrophat 90, 125-90-113 but more freestyle than freeride.

Isn't the Chronic softer than the Prophet? I'm looking for a really aggressive, not forgiving ski.
What about the quality of Line-skis these days? Still falling apart like they did some years ago?

Armada ARV wold be a good one, ~180 with 95mm waist
line lizzies/SFB are 10/15mm bigger than you were looking for but are great in pow and stomp the shit out of the park, and since they are so light they don't have to bad of a swing weight, I'll probably get lizzies for my everything but rails ski
scott p4's would also be pretty good for you

if ur gonna go arv u deff want 0405 or older models...the newer ones are all noodles. Even the older ones are still prolly softer than u want.

ARV is not a si that fits the descrition

Actually...prophet 100. I have the 130s, and if i had to own one pair of skis for everything it would be those. They are a little on the stiff side, but are fast as hell. Go with those, you will be plenty happy.
