Are you looking to jib a lot or do mostly jumps.

Do you like full camber, rocker or a bit of both? And do you like a wide or skinny ski?

A bit of both, and I like it to run at about 90mm

Well for skis at around 90mm waist with a rocker camber profile you have a few good options:

Armada Halo2/new B-Dog (they're the same ski), K2 Shredditor 92, Line Chronic, Dynastar Slicer and Armada Alpha X (basically just a stiffer and faster version of the B-Dog).

Have a look at Amplid Provokes, they sound pretty perfect for you, and as far as I'm aware, there's nothing better or more durable than Amplids
