I was looking for a wider and rocketed park ski that would work well in the powder. Or a powder ski that works in the park. Any recommendations?

Wish the old Rory Silva Pro SFS skis were still in production. 111mm waisted park skis were fucking crazy.

I've been throwing around Pettitor 120s and Hellbents in the park for years now. Don't let anyone tell you that "too big" exists.

Moment PB&J would do the trick, park / powder skis are kind of a hard blend unless you're into super wide park skis.

101 underfoot gives plenty of float on most powder days (depending on where you ski). A lot of people who want a wider park ski go with it strictly for park, while a good portion of people ride it for all mountain / powder.

Anything wider than ~105 is going to be a little difficult to handle in the park unless you're used to and prefer something with a lot of ski underfoot (lookin at you Meeks...).
