My turn for ski help

Ok, I am having some trouble deciding what ski to go with for this year.  I am 6', 160 lbs and an aggresive skier.  I'm on the Ice Coast now, but will be moving to SLC for the winter so I want something that can handle powder.  I'll probabley be 30-40% park and 60-70% back country.

As far as stiffness goes, I had the 05/06 PEs last year and they were a little too stiff and heavy for me.  I don't want a noodle, but something softer than the PE would be preferred.  Oh and preferrably I want something with an 85 or higher waist.  So lets hear some suggestions.

I can handle a softer ski on ice, before the PE I had 3 year old 1080s that were all noodled out, and I could keep them on ice well enough.  Also, since I am gonna be in SLC this year, I don't have to worry as much about how the skis perform on ice.

Thanks to both of you, I will look into those skis.

yea I had PEs and really didn't find them stiff especially after they broke down, but regardless seths would be awesome and they are definately softer than the PE, but not noodles, I'm pretty sure they get stiffer the longer they are.

Can't go wrong with any suggested so far. I dunno if you only want 07 skis, but if not motherships might be worth looking into. MSP would be similar if a little stiffer.
