I'm basically looking for a park ski that handles great All over the mountain
I'm from Colorado, so I'm def looking for a ski that does great in the pow, trees, and bumps.

5'10", 150 pounds, Advanced Skier

What are your thoughts between the two, or other suggestions?

while i dont know about the ar7, i can vouch that the jmo's are extremely durable and great for trees and pow. i havent taken them into the park because i have too much money into them, but i would definitly recommend them.

i havent had either, but i do believe that the ar7 is more of a park ski and the jeronimo is more of an all mountain ski. the jeronimo will float better in pow then the ar7 and its also stiffer then the ar7. the jeronimo is wider then the ar7 too. although the jmo isnt built as a pure park ski, i've heard that there is no problem doing switch ups on rails and spinning off of jumps and stuff

You might wanna be looking at the ARVs instead of the AR7s

I would be looking more at the J mo if you are going to be skiing any pow. Also check out the surface double time or watch life. Both are skis that kill it in the park and still shred the entire mountain.

^.

Jmo if you are concerned with performance outside the park, AR7 if you are concerned with performance inside the park.

Go jmo, double time or watch life, blends if you dont mind a wider ski.
