alright guys,

i am trying to decide between Boone underdogs in either the 92mm (freeride) or the 82mm (Park) ski.

i ski on the east coast (ontario) and ski 100% park unless we get a pow day which we have about 5 or so a season. if we ever do get a pow day, it would be nothing over 1 or 2 feet of fresh. i weigh 135 pounds and am 5'11"

biggest jump we have around here is about 55'

im set on getting boones, so please dont say get another ski.

SPARKNOTES:

trying to decide between the 92mm or the 82mm Boone ski for an eastcoaster.

+K to helpful answers.

i would get the 82 at waist because, when it isnt powder you ski 100% park. and u only get 5 powder days a year which isnt alot.

the 92 will be more stable because a bigger platform, but it could also be stiffer because its the freeride model,so better for bigger jumps

Tough question - it is really a matter of preference. Kolby prefers the 92.5's underfoot but more of our riders prefer the 82's for purely park/urban skiing so it depends! The Freeride's are a little bit stiffer and have a little more flotation. Not sure if that helps at all.

i have the freeride magic sticks, 92.5 underfoot and i love em for park, plus the little more float on powder is fun, i ski Ohio btw (pretty much 100% park) but its all up to which you like better actually

I ski both and prefer the 92 for any jumps over 30 feet, prefer the 82s for most rails.  92 far out performs the 82 all mountain.  The freeride skis really do rip all mountain, and park.
