I'm looking to buy some new skis, I've just moved to Whistler and will be here for the season. I'm looking for some skis that will help me start to experiment in the park but that I can also use day to day on the powder and general terrain. I would say my level is between intermediate and advanced. Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks :)

Atomic backland 102! Would get the 109s if you’ll be skiing a bunch of pow!

I would suggest an all-mountain ski with a twin tip. Twin tips are important for progressing in the park and becoming a well-rounded skier, in my opinion. Unfortunately you're not going to find a ski that is made for both park and pow skiing. But there are skis in the "all-mountain" category that will work decently for most in-bound conditions including park, groomers, varied terrain and low-key powder. Ski suggestions that come to mind would be the Armada ARW 96, Line Pandora, ON3P Jessie 96, and Faction Prodigy.
Hope this helps!

Highly recommend the ON3P Jessie. Pandora is amazing but the tail rise makes it a little difficult for park.
