Park/All Mountain Symmetrical Rocker Ski?

I reckon one company needs to step up and make a ski like this. Enough width for most pow days,symmetrical, rockered, stiff enough to hold up ok on groomers, light enough to ski in the park..
Something in between 125 - 96 - 125 and 130 - 100 - 130.. roughly.. probably a little early taper.. in maybe
176, 181, 186, 191.. If someone actually made this ski i reckon it would be a huge seller with the NS community.. I know i would buy them

Moment Reno Rocker is symmetrical, rockered and 92 underfoot which is pretty versatile. But yes, a wider ski like it would be incredible.

yeh i was thinking about getting those.. but i think i want something a bit wider than those and a bit stiffer.. I'm just hoping that the planks are going to be wider by about 5mm all along..

maybe you could go for the obSETHed, or i would say kung fujas
there aren't that many skis between about 93 and 105 underfoot

obsethed i think are a bit too fat for what i want.. but they are a possibility.. and the zero is only 84 underfoot i think? my point was one of the manufacturers needs to step up and make a ski like this.. i think there would be a load of demand

I dunno, I think most skiers who regularly ski deep pow, park, and groomers have more than one ski in their quiver. The problem with one ski that is decent in several conditions, is that it isn't really great in any one snow condition.
I'd rather have a really good park ski, and a really good powder ski than a decent park and powder ski.

zeros are 130-104-130, with no camber. seems pretty close

I rode seths last season, they were okay at both... but I'm switching to a 2 ski quiver this year. ^ this guy is correct.

nordica zeros do look kind of good.. and i knew all about the reno rockers.. and to those saying i need a quiver i actually have volkl walls and line elizabeths.. it was more a theoretical ski.. because i have been thinking a slightly fatter ski than the reno rocker available in a few more lengths would be really popular.. im not saying it needs to be super fat but fat enough to handle an EC pow day for example.. or a pow day in the alps..
