Hey NS,
As the season comes to an end, skis start to go on sale, and the mountain I ski at 50% of the time has a such a shitty park I don't even bother going in more than half the time. So when I dont have a ride to mount snow I want an all mountain jib/side county ski that i can mess around with, and still occasionally go in the park, and shred pow when we get it. I was look at skis with around a 105 wast + or -, so far I have been looking at the ON3P jeffrey, Line blend and the armada TST. If you have any other recommendations or reviews of these skis that would be great!

I was looking into the TST also however people told me it is not going to be a "jibby" ski at all because it has a stiff tail that also has no rocker. Next year's Jeronimos or Jeffreys would be a great option.

i have the line blend, love them! just got back from 4 weeks in canada (i live in australia...) and the blend is what i took over. i took over my suspects also but i found myself hitting pow of a morning and then going straight to the park which ment i didnt change ski, and the blend was amazing in the park! no as good as my suspects, but still heaps of fun and i could do anything i wanted on them, anywhere on the mountain and they held up amazingly! hope this helps.

Well next year's Jeronimos will be 101 at the waist, not 96. And the Jeffrey will be 110 at the waist, not 108. Also they are coming out with more sizes for the Jeffrey and Jeronimo next year. I think a 186 Jeffrey would be a great option if you are skiing not as much park, but the Jeronimo would be better if you are skiing more park.

It would be less park, more powder (when the east gets it) and side country jibbing and such

ON3P Jeffereys sound like a solid bet or maybe line SFBs

I'm like 5'9 or 5'10, would 186 jeffreys be to big for me? The park skis I have now are only 176's

get blends, when i had mine they were the ultimate ski. i took them everywhere and now they are a bit softer so more playful but still charge hard and they have the early rise which is great for pow/chop. they are also 100 underfoot so they stomp jumps in the park and its only more surface to land one so it doesnt hurt anything. probably one of the best skis I've ever owned

I ride AR7 all mtn and they hold up well in <1ft of snow or so. Super durable and fun ski. Also a great park ski that shreds slush and trees well too. Can't vouch much for ice with AR7s b/c I bought them in February and skied like 1 or 2 truly icy days on them. I am almost 5'9 (maybe 5'9 now) and I own 171s. They fit well and have some room to grow.

They would be fine, considering the hefty rocker will make them ski shorter on hardpack, and in pow you will appreciate the extra length.

Armada ARV 175/185. So underrated, and yes you might prefer to buy from another brand, but for a ski that does everything and does it pretty well this ski is awesome. If you need more info on it, PM me or ask in the thread. Love this ski so much, other Armada skis I won't really vouch for.

i have solomon lords, they are more for big dudes, im 5,10-6ft 185 and i love the pop they have, i ride 179 and in less than a foot of powder which is all we had in the east coast, they are literally soooo fun, when  trails get squerlly they help there too, only semi twin talk, which i dont notice a difference, but they arent semetrical so its what you like

Guys, he wants an allmountain/sidecountry JIB ski. So, I would definitely not reccomend the Lord or the TST. Both are very directional.
