He NS,
Looking for a fatter park ski that could be taken out of the park and ski anything. I especially want a ski that will float in some powder and maybe even take in the back country. Anything helps, thanks I'm 5'11 150 lbs

Trying to find a ski that does three distinct parts of skiing is going to be tough. What of the three (park / all mountain / backcountry) are you going to be doing the most of?
50% park 40% all mountain 10% backcountry?
Also, height / weight / skier ability / where you ski / what skis you've liked or disliked / etc... will make it easier for people to suggest skis.
i had some al dentes or edollo as they are now, had a ton of fun on them in powder...
guessing the Blend would be similar
Faction Prodigy works well in the park and decently in the powder, looks really pretty this year too; http://www.freeride-attitude.com/62557-large_default/faction-prodigy-2017.jpg. It has similar specs to the Edollo which would also be a good choice as someone already mentioned.

moment PB&J or Kartel 98 if mostly park skiing 108/106 if mostly AM and pow
A lot of people ride faction candide 2.0's in the park. They also are great all mountain skis.
I ride kartel 106's in the park and aside from a little more swing weight they are super fun and super poppy
