Can you guys tell me some companies that sell good all mountain skis. I like to do jumps in the park and some rails but I want to move to doing powder and trees more too. I six one so if you know any skis that fit this just tell me.

What does the wideness of the ski do?
How are the masterminds?

you live on the EC so i don't know how much deep pow you will be skiing, it will be really heavy if there is any. Rocker probably isn't necessary for this ski. look for a ski around 90 waist. maybe line chronic cryptonites, their a stiff all mountain park ski. Look for all mountain park skis and don't mount your binding center maybe -2 from center.

jeronimos would be a good ski, never skied them or seen them in real life for that matter but i've heard great things about them and on3p in general.

Liberty Morphic 181.  Wide enough for pow, but you can still take it in the park.  I believe they are like 94mm underfoot.  Perfect for an all mountain ski.

ON3P Jeronimo is quite possible the best and most versatile ski out there right now. Bamboo core keeps it light and poppy, tip and tail rocker help it go anywhere forward and switch, 96mm underfoot keep you afloat in some pow (around a foot to 18in of pow will be super easy, more is doable, but may require some work), camber underfoot keeps that bamboo core snappy and poppy, such a great ski all around (and with the pre-sale, they're only $499, which is a super sick price such a great ski).

The jeronimo's sound really nice. Would they last a long time. And what does the placement of the bindings do... it says on the website that they are mounted -3cm.

standard mount is -5 from true center. the farther forward you are the more centred you are on your ski, so the less tip and the more tail you have. A lot of people have their bindings centred on their park skis, i think it makes it easier to stay balanced? but i may be wrong, and it makes skiing switch easier. if these were your only ski and your not skiing 50%+ park then mounting center is unnecessary, it will lack in more areas than it will be better in. if your a park rat then mount them center. you said that you want this as an all-mountain ski so don't mount them center. maybe -1.5? i don't really know because i've never skied or seen the ski. somewhere between -1 and -3 (recommended) should be good for all-mountain. It all depends on how much park you plan on skiing.

J-mo's are designed to be mounted at -3 from true center (binding matte placement, center of sidecut, etc), and that is the mount we recommend for all mountain riding. This ski can be a very good park ski (its what our team rider David Steele uses exclusively for his shenanigans), and for that use, mounting it dead center is the way to go. If you are going to be doing more of a mix, feel free to put the binders anywhere between there.

And if you're Landis, mount them forward of center.
