Help me complete my quiver!

Here's what I've got so far:

190 Armada Magic J for deep resort days/sled skiing
192 Armada TST for touring
181 Armada AR7 for park days and when it hasn't snowed in weeks

What I need is the ski for those days where it's snowed 3-6 inches and I want to play all over the mountain in the morning and then make a few park laps in the afternoon. Would also want it to be the one ski that I could take on a trip with me if I wasn't sure what the snow was going to be like where we were going.

It just so happens I've got all Armada skis now. Really open to any suggestions with any brand.

Would like it to have a decent sized waist and at least some rocker. Whether it's full rocker or rocker with camber doesn't matter.

Have thought about Line SFB in 184 (too soft for me at 180lbs?) and last year's Rossignol Scimitar in 185 (not fat enough for when there's fresh snow?).

Tell me - what ski should complete my quiver?

Thought about the blog. Heard it's pretty damp and not that much fun of a ski. More geared towards beginner/intermediate skiers?

Patron is too fat at 113.

Looked at sickle too - wondering if it's too stiff.

So, Rocker2 108, SFB, Blog, and Scimitar still in play.

Hoji's sound like the perfect ski for afternoon park laps!!!!  j/king

OP, it sounds like you want some Moment PB&J's.

I just got some 186 Jeronimos that look fucking sick!! I think they could round out your quiver pretty well, small enough for some park but big enough to ride the rest of the mountain. That's why I got mine.

Does the Armada TST not fit what you're looking for? It sounds like a solid all around ski.

It's definitely a solid all-mountain ski, but I'm looking for something a little more playful that could handle some park laps. Mounting the TST with Dukes is going to limit it's playfulness too.
