I was thinking about the Rossi s4 jib, but i'm totally open to suggestions.  lookin for a great park ski that can also hold up in deep pow.  also not trying to break the bank.

Only legit response so far, s6, fujas, blog, shiro, sfb, jj r what I would look at. The blends r just too soft unless u weigh very little, but we need much more info to narrow it down.

i'm 5' 11" and weigh 155lbs...i like the idea of the blends and i think they might work with my weight.  i usually ski something around 173cm but i'm not used to riding fat skis.  i think the 100mm waist on the blends could be a nice fit.  also looking for something on the lighter side yet super durable.  open to any and all suggestions.  thanks.

I second the salomon 2012, such a good all mountain ski and it shreds the powder. Its ok in the park very easy just not as much pop as a regular camber ski. I would recomend the 179 length. Im 5'11 170lbs and had the 179 last year, they were to short for me but if you like shorter skis they may work for you. If they feel too short there is also a 186 length this season.

Armada ARV is my weapon of choice. 95 underfoot is still nice in the park and can still float in pow.. much more than 95-100 and you're gonna start having a harder time on rails/boxes

U need to be around 180ish, 173 is too short, especially with rocker. I would buy the fujas over the blend all day! 179 fujas ftw

181 jeronimos sound like exactly what you're looking for.
