Best fat park ski

So, I was wondering in your opinion which is the best fat park ski, somewhere in between 95-105 mm. I do have my park skis, but I wanted something in between park and big mountain, for days Im not only in the park.

I was looking at the Line Blend or even the K2 Marksman, but they're all very different.
What do you guys think?

108mm waist Line Sir Franics Bacons. Slightly wider waist will give you more diversity compared to your park skis, but overall they're a super nimble, fun, buttery park-all mountain-pow jib ski.

Marksman only gives you half as many edges to work with if you can live with that.

Icelantic da'nollies maybe. I've heard great things about the moment bibbys but they might be too fat.

Kartel 98 seems to be exactly what your looking for, 98 isn't too wide but it still shreds the whole mountain and it slays in the park.

danollies, edollos, kartel 98 are probably the top 3 between 95-100 underfoot

Also think about the faction Candide 2.0 but if you're even thinking about the marksman then theres the Candide 3.0 in the mix there too

I'd say the Salomon Rocker 100 and the Armada ARV 96 are definitely worth looking into. I have both and absolutely love them.

Jskis Vacation. Really buttery and pretty damn light too for its size. Be sure to check them out.

I know guys that love marksmans as a rail and all mountain ski but i've personally found k2 shreditor 102s and marksmans to be a bit heavy and damp for my taste. Check out Twig's review of the Blend https://www.newschoolers.com/news/read/The-Roofbox-Reviews-2018-Line-Blend. My suggestion and current daily driver is the Icelantic Nomad 95. Soft/rockered tips and tails are super playful but it retains enough beef for all mountain use and mid size jumps. I'm a big fan of em.

Icelantic nomad 105 is actually pretty good in the park
same with the kye 110
(these are both more big mountain skis)
