Nordica Dead Money, technically they're a park ski, but they are a stiffer ski.  I've skied em hard and they held up great all season. 

Or if you want something with a bit of a rocker, the Rossi S3 is a great ski.

How much powder do you ride?

Pretty much every company offers a ski like you are looking for, theres so many skis out there that would be good for you, but im gonna say chronics because they are cheap right now, are not being made next year, and are good ski.

Chronics or extremes or arv's imo just do some research they have those nifty graphs and charts on each ski on the armada/ line/ k2skis/ etc... Websites

yeah k2 makes some nice all mountain skis.
I used extremes for the past 2 seasons, pretty fun skis.
kinda sink ya in the way deeper stuff though.
I've also heard good things about line blends.
or chronics perhaps?

Line Blends- Can Handle everything you throw at them, a great do everything ski and also performs fairly well in the park. A great one quiver ski. 100 mm underfoot so they float well in pow, but have standard camber underfoot for icy days, soft days and everything in between. They also carve up groomers very well. You just have to be comfortable skiing a slightly wide ski in the park, but a highly recommend them.

4frnt clicks: A great park ski that is stiff underfoot but has moderate flex in the nose and tails. Is also very durable. 84 underfoot and really sick graphics. Can also ski all mountain, but not recommended for pow.

ON3P jeronimos, i own a pair and they are the single best purchase that i have ever made, i ski whistler so i was looking for the same sort of balance between park and pow, they are sturdy and poppy in the park and the rocker makes them flowy and comfy in the pow. definetly worth the investment, best ski ive ever owned.

The patents were new this season I am pretty sure. They are really dope for park and mountain, my coach uses them all the time in park and everywhere, they are just a bit stiffer and wider but really sick ski for every condition and type of skiing. They are an awesome jumping, park, and all around ski.
