I am looking for a ski that's good in soft snow and trees, sometimes tight trees. Would you say these are more geared for powder, jibbing/park, or as an all mountain ski (I'm trying to avoid the "all-mountain" category as I'm looking for more of a powder ski)? and would you recommend them for my intended use?

I have been riding Bacon's for 1 1/2 years now and while they do rip everwhere, They love jibbing in powder, boulder drops and pillow lines are so much fun. they are super quick and fun in tree's. But to tell you the truth I will be replacing them at the end of the season with a pair of rockered skis to get better float and a more surfey feel. I am 5'-7" and 165lbs. and have them mounted at +2 from rec. I know I would get better float at rec. BUT with all the rockered ski's out there Why not just buy a different ski. I will be looking at the Bibby pro or Night train's, E.P. pro's or another pair of Bacon's if they rocker them.
