He NS,

Looking for a fatter park ski that could be taken out of the park and ski anything. I especially want a ski that will float in some powder and maybe even take in the back country. Anything helps, thanks I'm 5'11 150 lbs

Trying to find a ski that does three distinct parts of skiing is going to be tough. What of the three (park / all mountain / backcountry) are you going to be doing the most of?

50% park 40% all mountain 10% backcountry?

Also, height / weight / skier ability / where you ski / what skis you've liked or disliked / etc... will make it easier for people to suggest skis.

Faction Prodigy works well in the park and decently in the powder, looks really pretty this year too; http://www.freeride-attitude.com/62557-large_default/faction-prodigy-2017.jpg. It has similar specs to the Edollo which would also be a good choice as someone already mentioned.

A lot of people ride faction candide 2.0's in the park. They also are great all mountain skis.

I ride kartel 106's in the park and aside from a little more swing weight they are super fun and super poppy
