Want my own board but what to get?

Hi,
Have been riding for the past 10 yr or so, normally rent for 2 days then switch to skiis for another 2 then back to the board for last couple of days (1wk per year in France as no mountains in UK).
Nowadays i just want to ride the board for 5-6 days solid.
I rode a Rossignol Scope 162 in 2010, felt it really easy to butter, and loved the flex in tight conditions (moguls etc.) not sure if this product has rocker technology (only just read about it and like sound of it) but it seemed to improve my riding ability, although not sure if the edges were that great on this board as it seemed to slide a lot on steep ice, and then i landed on my cocix on ice, which was sore for 2 months!

So i’m looking for recommendations on what i should go for;
weight 185 Lb, 84kg,
approx 5,11,
intermediate to advanced.
Wanting to improve in park, as not so confident jumping (getting old -35) but really i’m after an all mountain board, that i can do a little pow off piste, park, piste, rip it from the top to the bottom, as i only get to ride for 6 days in a year.

Thanks
Nick
