naw, theres so many skis in 176. its hard to find skis bigger than 182 though. a 185 or 186 pure park ski from on3p would be dope, but that has been said alot of times before. geuss theres simply not so much demand for a ski in that length.

If we get 20 requests we'll most likely make it this year, if not it'll probably come out regardless the year after.

I only want a 176 Jeffery...all the others are fine the size they are, but for what I want to do with them, 176 is perfect.

181 is the perfect length, companies who dont make skis past 178 lose my business

I vote YES, obviously.

I'm 5'5", 150 lbs.  The 181 is perfect for a caylor where you're just skiing pow and doing 180's and smaller spins off cliffs.  The 176 Jeffery sounds absolutely perfect for doing bigger spins into deep snow, or if you take your pow skis into the park often.

I would go 181 for sure, unless you're just starting out in the park and are looking for something insanely easy to handle, but the 181 will be stable, fast and plenty easy to maneuver.

I'd deff like a 176 ski for j-mos and filthy riches. 170 is just to short for me, especially cus their rockered, and 180 is just too big. I'm 5'9, 130, and an advanced skier. Right now I'm skiing 174's and wouldn't go any bigger by more than 1 or 2cm and I deff wouldn't go shorter.

Scott's head just exploded.


Hahah, maybe if there was serious demand, but a ski that small with the same flex of the current Cease and Desist would murder people.
