how will the jeronimo hold up in the park, would the wider underfoot cause a problem

does it carve as easily as a 88 mm underfoot??

This year, the Jmo moved up 5mm in waist width, so it's 101 underfoot. I haven't skied that specific version, but I've skied both Jmos and Filthys in the park.

While the Filthys are a little quicker, the Jmo is just fine for someone who is looking to butter more and spin a little slower in general. It's also a better all mtn ride, as the width helps when there's pow or slush to shralp.

I've been looking at those and am wondering two thing, how heavy are they (I'm not looking for a specific weight just in general) and how does ON3P ski length compare to other companies (eg. Line shorter than they say and K2 longer)?

from what i've heard, ON3P are true to length, so if you pull a tape straight from tip to tail, 181 = 181 (whereas K2 would equal 184 and Line 178).
around 100 underfoot is the money width for park in my opinion so go for it. Would probably be my choice for park if it weren't for hookups making them extremely non-cost effective.

Ive rode my Jmos for the past 2 seasons in park and pow. BEST SKI EVER MADE. i gurantee if you get them you will not go to another ski ever again. and the are pretty damn light, i bit lighter than anthems. no problem skiing these bad boys in the park. and the rocker makes it oh-so-fun

This year's 101 underfoot are my go-to park ski. I like wider park skis in general, some people aren't into it.

Karl rode the 101 udnerfoot JMO in the park a lot this year, check his edit:

I'm pretty sure almost that whole video is on the Filthy Rich. If there is a shot on skis with green bases, those are jeronimos, but everything else is a pair of filthy rich.

it's funny how different the reviews for the JMOs are on Newschoolers vs. the rest of the internet. the other reviews I have read said they aren't a good park ski but a one ski quiver. that said I easily trust these reviews over those, considering the people that built them are the ones doing the commenting.

question though, how much different do the 96 underfoot JMO's ski in the park compared to the new 101. I live in NC so these will be my park ski that I will ride all season, and all we have is park so all mountain isn't much of an issue. I just chose the JMO because I don't have a ski to ski in between my park skis and powder skis for when I go out west so the JMO seemed to solve that issue quite nicely and it keeps me to only two skis.

if anything, i would say the increase in waist is a plus. ive rode 100mm waist skis in the park and there really isnt much of a difference. but the 101 jmos might make it a bit easier to ride powder (even though i didnt have a hard time on my 96 waist jmos)

They are slower edge to edge than 80mm park skis, thats obvious.
They are also a bit harder to throw around, but much more stable and way funner.

Rode my 181's late season and at hood. So fun. I mean, they're not as buttery as my old invaders, but the width is awesome on rails and when you're not in the park, and they're super stable. Obviously, its a little more difficult to throw fast spins, but they feltright to me, both hitting rails/jumps, and dropping cornices in the hood sidecountry. They're stiffer then the average park ski, so don't expect them to be "noodly", but they aren't too stiff that you can't butter out the last bit of a spin or something. All in all, I liked them tremendously, and I'd definitely recommend them.

how much harder to throw around?

like say I'm learning to 2 on, would it be difficult or close to the same as any other park ski

I'm coming from riding a k2 public enemy btw

Its not like the ski is going to hold you back. But yes its is a bit harder, not anything that i would think you couldn't get used too.

im going to get a pair this year too most likely, i came from a 156 ski to a 182 ski last year and it took a while to get used to it, but now it feels fine, im sure after a few days in the park it will be fine, but always a little less snappy than the Fr, but so much better everywhere else, im going to use mine for more all mountain jumps at first so i dont ruin them on rails

ok cool, I'm coming from a 169 to a 181 so the transition should be interesting. deciding between the jmos and FR's is really really tough though

I can whip 2's onto urban style rails with my Jeffreys, and 4's on to boxes with good lips... it's all about comfort - a lot of swing weight has to do with where you mount your ski. I'm sure you'll be fine, and get used to it quick!

The FR will be easier to spin onto rails and boxes with for sure, but I like a wider park ski myself. It's all personal preference.

I mount ALL my skis to have my boot center -1.5cm from dead center. It's a strange obsessive habit, I feel like that .5 matters. It probably doesn't. Where are you skis mounted now?

The JMO has a suggested mounting point that's pretty dialed for a 50/50 of both. It really depends on personal preference though, because I don't like skiing them that far back.

thanks man that helps a lot, I'll be mounting them center since they are going to be my park ski so that should help with the swing weight.
