So i live in Washington and have a pair of 09 volkl wall skis...however, those skis leave me wanting more for the wonderful pow days....basically i have an extra pair of marker jesters and wanna hook em up on some sick semi to fat skis. I wanna keep some style in the powder too...i love building kickers and i like deep stuff!
I'm 5'11" 180lbs
So far I've looked at the:

Line Blend- looks awesome 100 waist seems perfect however seems geared less towards pow and more towards everything, but the full wood core seems awesome i don't want any metal like the prophet.

Moment Bibby Pro- The medium to stiff flex seems almost perfect i like the 115 waist however it might start getting a little wide?

Moment Garbones- STIFF FLEX? anyone know much about this ski? haven't read much about it seems sick though

Line sir francis bacon- like the no rocker because i will be riding it on some days with little to no powder. 115 seems legit but i've read that the flex is like the invader which seems pretty soft. NOT SURE IF I WOULD LIKE THAT? however i've never really had a park specific ski.

K2 Obsethed- not as cool as the other skis i mention but the little rocker seems legit and i like the 105 width along with the size of the ski

Any other legit suggestions? what do you think of those four if you have ridden them?

I really wanna ride the powder like the park but also want to ride some awsome lines....Please help me out!

i would go with the k2 obsethed because most of the skis you mentioned up there are all mountain and you're looking for a pow ski

dude your retarded, the onseth is an all mountain ski, the rest are BC jib skis(bacons,bibbys) and charging skis(garbones). I would go with bibbys, the rocker will be nice in pow, but they will still be good on groomers. Rockered skis on groomers are fun, not shit like most people say, i use my EPs every day even if there is no pow

I use my Bacons all the time in WA (I'm 5'9 150 lbs.) so they would definitely be a good choice, they don't ski like they are as big and fat as they are.  Even on groomers they are way better than other skis that big, same with park, they are fun in the park.
Other skis that I haven't skied but seem to meet your criteria are:

Bibby Pro
JJ
Obsethed
