Ski Suggestions - Med/Soft flex

I'm looking for some ski ideas for the upcoming season, I want to try out something a little softer than my Chronics this year. Loved the Chronics for an all mountain but looking for something a little softer this time around. SO the following criteria is what I had in mind:
Medium to soft flex
Slight tip/tail rocker
90ish waist
Not necessarily committed to those restrictions but it's where I'm initially headed. I'm just starting to do my own research for this so any suggestions to point me in the right direction are welcome.
I'm obv the best skier on the mountain, but looking for something to hold up to rails and 30ish foot tables. Also I'm 5'11" 175 lbs. Thanks for your help bros

Filthy Rich are more medium-stiff than medium-soft. I dont have problems buttering them, but they're probably not exactly what hes after.

K2 DOMAINS:
-ELEVATED TIP/TAIL
-90MM WAIST
-SOFTER IN TIP AND TAIL
-FLAT CAMBER (HAVE NOT TRIED MINE OUT YET SO NOT SURE IF THAT IS A + OR -)
-SYMMETRICAL
-I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANY HORROR STORIES ABOUT THEIR DURABILITY
I SAW SOMEONE SELLING A PAIR OF NEW 179CM DOMAINS FROM LAST YEAR IN B/S/T. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY WOULD FIT THE PROFILE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR

this or the Alpha 1's (which is really just a faster, brighter-colored halo)

I would have suggested these, but I was afraid he might throw out the narrower waist width. OP if you can deal with an ~81 mm waist, armada alpha 1/halo would be fabulous.

K2 domain. The flat is really nice for rails (doesn't catch on swaps) and does t make a noticeable difference anywhere else
All times are Eastern (-5)
