Sounds like you've got some solid suggestions already, maybe also take a look at the Kartel 98s.

What you'd be best to do now is to research all the options you've got and work out what you want, they've all got different characteristics and design quirks so it would be quite helpful.

Just as a side note, a lot of guys will tell you to go wider, more in the ~110 region, but that kind of seems like overkill; something ~100 underfoot would be ample.

I had the peacemakers and they are fun but the sidewall blew out after about a week of skiing on them in the park. Id go with the shredditors 102 my brother has those and they are dope skis, they will never break.

Like VD. said Kartels are nice. I have 98's and have no complaints, but you probably see more powder days than I do so the 106's might be a good match.

thought about them for some time but I think it would be a shame to rail with them

Picked up the 2.0s at the beginning of the season and I've ridden them every day aside from a handful of deeper pow days. They perform in pretty much anything; park, groomers, chop, dust on crust, slush, < 6" pow, spring corn...you name it this ski can do it. They are stiffer than any ski I'd been on before (I really liked soft skis) but are still super surfy and buttery once you get a feel for them. Top notch product.

More of an over exaggeration haha. I have skied on k2 and Armada and Scott, and noticed that K2's seem to be more durable, but you are correct all skies will eventually break.

Nordica Soul Riders are 97 underfoot and can be made to butter, as seen here:
