Something full camber. Pentaquark would be good if you weren't looking for something softer.
Got a 155w sims dealers choice I could sell you for $200. A fun, flexy and chill, flat camber directional twin built by neversummer.
Get a huck knife then.
Or a capita
It would probably help to know what you didn’t like about the Aviator and Mtn Twin as each of those would likely land a a list based on what you’re looking for.
You are gonna limit yourself if you only are concerned about ice/hard pack. As someone from Wisconsin, while most of the time it's pretty firm and icy it's not always that way. No reason you can't have a board you enjoy more on days when the snow is good. You already have a bunch of boards for when the snow isn't good, why do you need more? Personally if there's good snow I don't want any magnetraction or edge tech beyond a variable side cut and I just want solid camber.

Seems like you like Mervin boards, so I'd look at the Headspace or Box Knife. Gonna be much more stable than the Skate Banana but still easily butterable.
I'd also check on your boot size; that's a huge boot size for your weight, so unless you're very tall and skinny it's possible you could size down.
Yes Standard or Greats, Arbor Coda Camber or Santori Camber, Jones Stratus or Mind Expander, Gnu Gremlin would be my thoughts, all offer edge disruption and a mid to slightly above mid flex
Yes the greats has low chatter, while being true twin its stiffer then most park decks, I like it as a deck I can freeride with but still can press and mess around for freestyle flair, the stratos is a bit softer IMO then the flagship.
In regards to the mind expander did you ride this years camber deck or last seasons rocker version?
No issues, personally Yes has my favorite side cut for Ice/hardpack, used to be a Mervin guy but find their edge tech to be too much for my liking, Arbors got a nice approach as well and the CODA CAMBER is an incredibly approachable deckI rode this year’s camber deck. I don’t mind the stratos being softer if it handles ice/hardpack good. How is the edgehold on the greats?

Your lib rig should be perfect for ice already. Not sure exactly what your looking. Again, go full camber but good luck finding stuff on the soft side outside of park boards.
Or just buy a pow board, it's not that hard to stack and store boards in a single box to minimize space.
