Skis similar to Surface Live Lifes/ Suggestions for a 2 ski quiver.

Hey so I already have my park/hard snow skis, and now I'm looking for a Soft snow ski. I demoed the surface Live Lifes out in Utah for a week and I love how they preformed. They where crazy fun in the pow, but they could still handle charging around on not so smooth snow.
Critical Info: I'm 17 years old, 5 foot 11 and weight 190 lbs, type 3 skier. I typically rock my din at 8. I ski LOTS of tight trees on the East, when I'm not I'm probably charging all over the mountain, I actually really enjoy skiing crud. Any ski recommendations?
For anyone that doesn't know, live lifes are 146-110-130 with camber underfoot, mellow rocker in the tip and tails. Fairly stiff flex. Thanks!

Forgot to add that full rocker is NOT an option, full camber is.

well derpity do dah. I'm also looking for other suggestions for what and how I ski, since I've never tried the live lifes on the EC or in very tight trees

Only thing I can think of close enough is the Salomon Czar. But I'd go with the Live Life's, an amazing ski, just what you're looking for

i skied my live lifes in both new zealand and sweden on the good days, which i can only imagine would be similar to EC conditions.
I haven't found a ski that is as good an allrounder as the LLs but that is also as light.
best skis IMO
.. but sorry i didn't answer your question
All times are Eastern (-5)
