Based on the information you gave us I think that 170 Line Invaders would be perfect for your skiing style, location, and budget.

FT ski made by FT of course.  Its a crazy ski, with reverse camber, sidecut and made with a 3 part mold system.  Also uses cables to apply even pressure throughout the ski.  A return of retro design.  It's called The BS'er.

It looks almost like a cross bow, you can adjust the cable tension to give it more or less reverse camber. Super innovative.

if you're looking for pure powder ski, go with ARG. i've skied both and in my opinion, there is no comparison when it gets deep. the ARG is absolutely incredible and contrary to popular belief, it doesn't kill you to ski back down to the lift.

Hellbent: reverse camber and normal sidecut (it means tighter in the middle) so more useful on hardpack to come back to the lifts. Hold well on hardpack as well. Did you see Sean pettit in The Massive?

ARG (like K2 Spatula): reverse camber, reverse sidecut and 1cm more in the middle than Hellbent. 100% pow. The middle is larger than the tip and tail.  Great for Tanner Hall in The Massive in pow sicklines with snowcat at the bottom. Did you see him? Not so good to come back to lifts in ski area. Some split of the legs you know. Some gymnastics if you preferred.

Then the price you want to play...

PS. For Spatula (reverse camber and reverse sidecut), I might have a killer deal (Quebec City in Canada).
