Ski to go with Obsethed PNW pow sticks?

I currently have a 176 dumont for park and a 179 obsethed for all mountain. What I really want is a ski for 12' + of powder. I am going to be skiing whistler and stuff gets tracked out fast. I want a ski for trees and bowls with the odd 15ft cliff thrown in for good measure. Id also like to do some switch pow. I ski with boarders mainly so dont need a ski that hauls ass, more playful I think would be better but not with a steep learning curve.
But anyone thats been to whistler will know it gets tracked out pretty fast, so I need something that isnt fkd in chopped up snow.
I was maybe thinking an ep pro would be pretty sick but I also like the idea of rev/reverse, can I get away with a ski like that in chop and crud. Also Ill probably steer away from the new JJ as I already have the obsethed and I think its too much crossover...
I am just under 6ft and 150lbs

hellbents actually mebbe?
the prophet 130 i would not consider really "playful"
the ep could be fun, but dont expect to charge at all they are reaaaallly soft.
bibbys? they are 115 waist and rockered. no reverse sidecut
args?

more playful than the 100, there's no metal in them just a strip of carbon so they're a lot softer

those are fatter in the waste than in the tips/tails which might suck when he needs to carve.
maybe moment comi's? dimensions are 160/136/145 but they only come in a 186 so idk if your looking into skis that long but i think you could seeing as your right around 6 feet. moment's description says "dictator in the deep - soldier in the crud". maybe google 'moment comi reviews'. good luck

Hellbents would be ok, EP's are probably too soft I wouldn't get those.
Check out the Donner Party's though, and definitely the Bluehouse Mavens. The Mavens look pretty ill and with the sidecut on them they should be able to turn easily on chop and the occasional groomer. They have a good amount of rocker and aren't stiff or noodles. Oh and their presale starts on the 18th so they will only be $374, so you will essentially get skis and bindings for what you would otherwise pay for just skis.
