These are for my friend.

he skis 75% park
20% all-mtn
5% shallow pow
is 135 lbs
is 5'8"

has public enemys now in a 159 and wants a bit lighter ski that has a little more flexibility but is still stiff enough to keep its own out west (he lives in wisconsin)

yeah but hes like: "i dont know... im not sure i want to mount center... im worried they wont ski good out west, im worried theyll suck in pow... im worried about etc..."

also, the jibs are in the intermediate width range, and he want something in the 85-93 waist range. not to mention that lots of pairs of jibs have had the tip/tail snap off.

actually not very many jibs have broke, the tahoe would be the way to go for all around.

hes scared of the width. also it sems like overkill because 90% of the time he skis at a hil with ~300' vertical rise

never heard of the tail snapping before...

but maybe instead of the reno's he should get something like the Tahoe or M1

If your friend is gonna ride park 75% of the time, then he should center mount cuz is he gonna go out west what like once a year? And pretty much any park ski isnt gonna hold its own in pow so riding center mounted in pow or not isnt gonna make that big of a difference

Tell him to get the Reno jibs. Those boards with thrash anything you put in front of them. Check out this update from a couple weeks ago, rode strictly back country on reno jibs center-mounted (even with the weaker glass) https://newschoolers.com/web/content/viewcult/action/news/id/3785/jid/841/eid/2249/

if he skis 75% park then he should be 75% sure of getting the renos. he needs to stop complaining about how they willl be in pow and all mtn. they will be fine and be amazing in the park.
