Looking for big white friendly skis

So i've just moved from the east to the west, and thus, my needs when it comes to skiing have drastically altered.
I'm looking for a do-it-all ski. I may cop a park specific ski too, but that would be used, or cheap.
So, I'm probably looking at skiing mostly off piste, consisting of bc, crud and pow, chutes, bowls, etc
I'll be cruising a bit on the groomers too
and probably about 15% park on these guys.
I'm about 6'1 160(?) [i don't own a scale lol]
I would like to be able to jib around the ski a bit still, so nothing bigger than 185ish
Thanks!

I've never actually tried a rockered ski before. Are they able to hold an edge?

Its big white, what do you need an edge for?
but seriously,
depending on how hard you charge you could look at the bibby if you like to jib around and play in the trees a little more than send it huge, if that is the case you could look at the s7, I know you said no rossi, but they are pretty sick. Or this years JJ is apparently one of the best bc sticks ever made.

if you really are against rossi for whatever reason, I would also look at the Praxis MNT jib. That ski is going to rip.

Thanks for all the help guys.
Any word on the kung fujas? Also the bacons.
I was chatting to a customer service guy on Backcountry.com, and he suggested the prophets. Thoughts?

bacons or prophet 100, bibby pro might be a little soft

That makes no sence.
Pretty sure bacons are alot softer than the bibbys
All times are Eastern (-4)
