the caylor is outstanding for dropping cliffs and skiing pow, you can turn the ski in ways your mind won't even understand in deep snow and it stomps the shit out of landings. It skis chop and crud like glass. On the groomers its fun, but you have to make super long turns to keep it on edge, its definitely not a quick ski from edge to edge. You could definitely ski the caylor every day, but if you're not skiing pow more often than not, i would look for something narrower underfoot.

Caylor is the funnest ski Ive been on by far. I love charging groomers on it so much fun. Cliffs are a blast and pow without a question is amazing with them. I ski them 50/50 depending if Im going in the park or not but outside the park this is my go to ski

Boom. I was going to suggest the Jeffrey. I have skied Caylors quite a few days this winter, and in many conditions. They are great, but they really excel in deep snow more than anything else. On groomers they won't carve tighter turns, obviously. But they don't seem to be built for that.

For a day-to-day ski, I would have to go with the Jeffreys.

I used my 191 caylors for an everyday ski last season and put over 65 days on them without any problem. Hands down my all time favorite ski.

caylor handles everything to perfection except ice. honestly groomers are more fun on my caylors than they are on my park skis
