i already have anthems which are great for park. Now i am looking for something that i could take everywhere else like pow groomers steeps and can still throw down in the park. i was thinking maybe Kung Fujas or S3s but i dont really know.

It sounds like you're looking for something a little softer based on your preference indicated in your original post, in which case Kung Fujas would probably be awesome, I would also suggest Bacons, they're fairly soft, reviewed ridiculously well, and I've heard that they kill it in the park too.

If you're willing to get something a little stiffer I would definitely suggest the S5 based on personal experience. Probably the best ski I've ever ridden. I bought them as an all mountain ski this year, but I'm seriously considering just using them everywhere because they're so awesome. I got them in the 185 length, and I'm 10 pounds lighter than you, but despite the size they were amazing. Super maneuverable, spin amazingly well for something that big, and make everything fun. EVERYTHING. I had good runs this year on frozen ice moguls because these skis can just handle everything so well.

If you have any questions on the S5s shoot me a PM.

ARVs are also really similar to S5's. I rode them on ice, in the park, on groomers, in 130cm of fresh... You name it, they'll slay it.

I'd also consider the Liberty Hazmats.   They are pretty cheap, have bamboo in the core that makes them really snappy and poppy, and have good dimensions for an all around ski that handles everything from pow to park.  I freaking love them.  It's a real solid company with the best customer service.  Check em out.
