4frnt MSP or VCT, both are awesome and shred everywhere.

Or k2 fujas, definitely a more than solid choice

SFBs are more park oriented next year from what I've heard.

Line blends would be a good choice 100mm underfoot... definatly a good all around ski. Or you could go with the S3 98mm under foot, early rise time and tail, camber underfoot... great in powder and great on rails and in the park... I have these skis and I mounted them +3 from traditional.

kung fujas are on the softer side.
I have moment tahoes and they are pretty stiff.

on3p jeronimo is about medium stiffness and it also has a little tip and tail rocker, perfect all around/fatter park ski.

have you looked a Line blends? they can do absolutly everything. i use them to ski groomers and park. when i go out to the mountains they absolutly shred powder to. they are a bit on the stiff side but its shouldnt be to big of a deal.

rocker should not effect rails at all...

maybe when landing back seat, i won't exactly support you and push you back up, but you shouldn't land backseat. it also helps reduce the risk of catching an edge.

it just seems like itd be harder to like lock onto rails with the rocker, and that was my thought on the jumps, but it also just seems like a smaller base to land on

reverse camber maybe, not not rocker.
see rocker really means that the ski has normal camber under foot, but early rise in the tips and tails, and your tips and tails arent on the rail so i wouldnt make a difference

i guess your right about rails but still on jumps it makes the bases sorta smaller to land on, only really landing on the cambered part

The fujas is a SICK ski. i just bought it this year and they RIP. they hold a great edge, the rocker is great in pow, and they aren't too heavy for their size. the only thing that the OP may not like is the stiffness, as they tend to be on the stiffer side. but they are the best skis i ever rode.

how does it make the base smaller?
the cambered part is like 90% of the ski.... just take your current skis, stand on them, then bend over and pull up the tips and tails and that is going to be what rocker is like.
