Not really for charging.

These are suggestions from what I have heard, so take that with a grain of salt:

-Volkl Gotama or Chopstick
-ON3P Wrenegade
-Armada ANT (not rockered though, but definitely a charger)
I forget what Rossi has for an aggressive big mountain ski this year, but they make great skis too.

Oh ya, and you can watch Wiley miller tear it up with some 4FRNT EHPs and see what those babies can do.  CRJs are good too, just a little softer.

Volkl Gotama, you will not be disappointed. Especially with this years new rocker design.

Rossi has the RC 112's this year. Some proper chargers.

Moment Garbones, I've heard nothing but great things about these skis.

They are super stiff, plus they've got a small amount of rocker, they charge like nothing else and still float like a pro.

"Big ones – he’s got them. They are aprerequisite to win the 2008 Subaru Squaw Valley USA Freeskiing Open. CragGarbiel works with rocks over summer and rocks the big-mountain competitions inwinter. We wanted to make him a pro model because he needs one. He required a rigidand stable platform for massive air and impact in absolutely any condition –plus float and control. The Garbones has an early-rise nose for float, 3 layersof triaxial fiberglass and an Aspen/Ash wood core."

Moment Ruby's are great. they arent rockered but still awesome for charging. They are really good in all pow conditions as well.
