Good all-mountain/buttery freeride skis?

hey guys I’m getting new skis soon and I’m looking for something capable of slaying pow and sending big cliffs but also let you butter and look steezy in the park. Any recommendations?

Realistically what percent of the time your skiing are you actually skiing pow? You prob are going to want something about 105 underfoot and a freeride rocker (Early rise, early tail) with a little camber underfoot.

Faction CT line? Just bought last seasons 2.0 for coming season. Very poppy, great on groomers and park, but still need to experience powder with them. 3.0 version and up is wider.

I live in BC so I do get quite a lot of pow so a wider ski might help
