Advice on the perfect one ski quiver

I'm looking to buy a one ski quiver and could use some help on what to get.

I'm 18, 6'2 170 and a type 3 skier. I ski out west in CA. I love skiing powder and steep stuff, but also like to race my friends on the groomers sometimes. I've also recently been getting into park. Needs to be able to shred the pow, quick enough for the trees, and hold its own in the park. Want it to have some sort of rocker in it too.

Thanks

Line blends, never tried them in pow but i've been told 100 underfoot will do fine. Extremely similar to the kungfujas but i found the kungfujas lacked "energy" compared to the blends and chattered more on hard pac.

hope this helps

just demoed the 2012 kung fujas last week at white pass they are a super fun ski, you can ollie the hell out of them and they stomp everything from park to pow. they are a little wider at 108, and look a lot more like the version from two years ago.

So I've settled on the line blends. I like the new rossi fks bindings but they're just so expensive so i might go with the salomon sth 12's instead. I've never bought bindings before and I know this a complete newb question but how wide do the breaks on the bindings need to be on a ski thats 100 underfoot? and does anyone who owns the blends have any recommendations on where to mount them?
