Take a look at the Line Blends or Moment PB&J depending on how much £$€¥ you've got to blow on a two pieces of wood.

I've ridden them in every type of snow imaginable (and then some) over the last two years and they've completely destroyed everything. Whether your charging a groomer or stomping a BC jump they've always performed for me

Yes they're rockered. The tips are really flexy. They flex easy at first and then get harder the more you try to go. To me, Patrons seem harder to flex at first but easier the more you push your butter. The tails of the CRs seem to be a little stiffer, but that may well be cause I have them mounted a little back from center.

I learned (at least learned and was able to make them look dece) how to butter on the CRs, so yeah they're plenty flexy.

Not meaning to discredit everything you've said 3r1k but personally I wouldn't recfomend a CRJ for all mountain skiing. I'd say they're pretty pow specific and especially with their kind of funky shape they definitely aren't the best in firmer or more variable conditions. It's great to see you following up on your posts and you making a real effort to help OP, just I wouldn't completely agree with recommendation, I think there are better skis out there for OP.

while it's a great ski, i wouldn't say they're soft and playful at all.

blends are an excellent all mountain freestyle ski that's soft and playful.

I'm going to suggest Shreditor 112s. Super fun in the park, on groomers, and a nice and buttery flex. Haven't had the opportunity to shred some pow with them though... Hopefully tomorrow...

The da nollies are good for all mountain for sure. However, if you want Icey go for the Nomad RKR Skny's. They're super soft, rockered, and can shred anything from rails to big mountain.

Rossignol slat is perfect for what your asking for. They are soft and and they have rocker and at 97 underfoot they are perfect for everything. And they are not extremely expensive. You can find last years model for 300 or under. But the retail is like 500 or 400 i forget.
