I don't get it either, FWIW. 

Based on what you said I would think that the Ullr's Chariot isn't a very good fit.  What I hear you say is that you really want a powder ski but that you will also take it on the groomed (so the ski should be more biased to your primary terrain but needs to have traditional shape that will still work on the groomed -- no Spatulas).  More importantly, the UC has a lot of sidecut and a really tight turn radius (15m), and that likely won't play too well with the way you describe your turns (all of that sidecut may get in the way of you being able to redirect the skis, the edges might feel grabby).

Wait for Monday and some of the other guys that know a lot more about powder skis than I, but there are lots of powder skis that still do well on the groomed with an 18-20m turn radius that don't have rocker.  Also, I hear that rocker skis have gone through a lot of refinement in the past year, so may be worth demoing a rocker ski if one gets recommended.

I assumed you've looked around on eBay places for past years Gotamas?
