All mountain ski

Ok, so most of my life I have been on a race ski and 99% of my time on the mountain was in a course of some nature. Now that I am doing a little bit more exploring, I want something that I can rip around the mountain any day of the year, powder or hard pack and enjoy it. Do not visit the parks, but my other 1% is off-piste. I know a 1 ski to rule them all might be a hard sell, but I would like something wider that 90 under foot

Blizzard Bonafide or Nordica Enforcer 93/100 would both be hard charging all mountain skis that you'd enjoy.

I would suggest Atomic Backland FR 102 Ski's or just any of the Atomic Backland family, they are super good in pow and also good when there is not as much pow. Plus they just look super fresh when ripping it up.

The Kore seems like it might be a winner as I am already entrenched in the Head gear

If having a lightweight ski is one of the more important things on your wish list, then the Kore would be your best option - it's been getting such good reviews because of how well it skis considering how light it is, but light skis will always ski like light skis (tend to get deflected in crud, less predictable, etc.). That said, if you want a ski that's gonna charge, you want something with metal and a little more weight to it.

Wouldn’t the Vantage line be better for him cuz it’s more chargy? Iirc the backland line is more flexy and playful
