Well everyone on ns has a chub for on3p so if you want to be "persuaded" towards one or the other, you'll just be told to get the jmos.

I have the 12/13 jeronimos haven't gotten to use them in powder yet but they rip groomed runs and are fun in the trees and you can get a ton of pop out them making them really fun on bad days. As far as park goes I've only been able to use them a few times so I wasn't totally familiar to the width for jumping and rails but they do feel really light on your feet. They are also super durable I have rolled over big rocks as well as landing a small drop on a rock with no damage to the base. Over all great ski I would recommend

I have watchlifes and have no complaints. Super solid ski that holds an edge on any run you throw at it. Really nice flex. Pretty stiff but not too stiff. I wouldnt change anything about em for my all mountain/groomer ski. I use mine in summit county for about 12 days a year on terrible icy garbage snow and i can rail em as fast as i could ever want to go and they always feel stable. You wont be let down if you choose the watchlifes

I have the Jeronimos and like everyone else I absolutely love them. They do extremely well on the mountain and are very stable at high speeds. I was able to get on my edges easily and make nice carves. The width in the park takes some getting used to, I came from a lot smaller ski which makes it even more difficult but like everyone will tell you, it doesn't take long to get adjusted to them.

^Yes, there are a ton of ON3P super fans, so you will get bias from people waiting to sit on the ON3Prick... But the jmos are solid skis...Would I buy them again over Lines, hmmmmm
