Line, 4FRNT, ON3P, Moment? All Mountain Ski for Tahoe? +K

I've been looking at manyyy reviews and have narrowed it down to ON3P Jeranimos, Line Chronics, Line Prophets, Moment Tahoe, Moment Ruby and 4FRNT TNKs.

I live in Tahoe; about 6'0" 145lbs and need something that can slay the park while still being able to perform well in pow/groomers/crud.

I was set on the ON3Ps but since I have a smaller budget I'm trying to buy last years model to save a few bucks, and the Jeranimos are just too hard to find. Out of the skis listed above or anything anyone else would recommend what would fit the bill for my one ski quiver? Or should I just hold out and wait till I find some JMO's?

Thanks NS.

I have the same problem and I have been told the moment Tahoe, rocker, Bibby pro, and Belafonte are great. All depends what you will be using it for most.... The blizzards are also good. They are interesting because they have that slider system (so much better than the schizo binding) so you can slide them to center for park and then slide them back for pow. hope that helps.

If they have anything left in stock i would check out bluehouse. They dont sell to any retailers so there is no markup at all. factorydirectskis.com they have a large variety of skis but they sell out kinda quick. Best to buy them in summer or preseason. 400$ for a pair of rocker twins is a BANGIN deal. Ive read reviews and they sound pretty decent, but I dont know for sure. Im currently skiing on Line blends and they are great for park and pow. Good luck man.

The Jeronimos are a really fun ski. Good for everything. The reason you can't find them is because all sales are done through their website. http://www.on3pskis.com

i'm a big fan of the Jeronimo's.  They are a ski that feels like it has linked to your brain.  The skis do exactly what you tell them to do.  Do like N. Skinner said and check out the ON3P website.  Maybe you can find a blemmed pair for a little less?

Some line skis such as abangs and masterminds have slow extruded bases. The chronics have a sintered base so they shouldn't be slow

i've owned the jmos and the tahoes. the jmos are just so much better for skiing out west. the lack of rocker in the tahoe makes an enormous difference in any kind of fluffy stuff.

i dont know much about the other skis, but from what i said you should take away that rocker is necessary

Having ridden both in all sorts of Tahoe conditions, I can whole heartedly recommend the Line Chronic Blends and ON3P Jeronimos. Both slay in all conditions, form ice to pow, park to cliffs.

Since we have Hood, the season ends here round late August :)

But we will be getting rid of our demo fleet in the early summer, if we dont have a buyer set on something it'll show up on NS in sell trade.

I think I'm gonna go with what most people said and just hold out for the jeronimos. Hopefully I'll catch a break and find some used ones if not, I'll just look to pre-order new ones next year.

Rather than make a new thread, anyone wanna recommend me some bindings? I have yet to start looking into them so I'm pretty lost haha. I've heard some good things about the PX14's and Jester's but those seem to be really pow/park oriented? Any help would be great.

Oh and I +K'd everyone, thanks!

I would check out the line blends more. A little better for all around than the chronics I think. And they will be more playful than the prophets.
