Going out west, need some new skis

I'll be heading out west a couple times this year and I'm looking for a good ski that can be used on the off chance that there's powder as well as back home in the trees and groomers.

I currently own Libery Hazmats and they're some of the most fun skis I've ever had. I'm looking for something similar to them and was considering the Helix's but I am open to (serious) suggestions. I was going to stay away from rockered skis mainly because I don't see the benefits of them being on the east coast most of the time. Oh and I'll also need a pair of bindings to go with them.

Helix would be an amazing choice since you already know you like the feel of bamboo skis.

Thomas is hard to understand sometimes.

Its a rockered ski though, and while its tons of fun and has gotten some pretty good reviews from East Coasters, if you dont want rocker, pretty much everything we make is out the window.
