Well are you doing more rails, or are you doing more jumps? More info bud. Do you like pop? or do you like a lot of butter?

Pretty equal mix of Rails and Jumps.. Maybe a bit more rails. But I like some flex but i dont want them to be unstable in the air.

I would say ON3P Jmo's but they are a little wide (not too much) for park, so if you have a pretty park centered ski already and you are looking for more of an allmountain slayer that does well in park occasionally, I would pick that. If not, Chronics are a good option.

Thanks for the response! I am just getting too tall for my skis is the issue. They are just above my chin. In the park they are okay (easy to spin) but they just sink in powder. But I think jmos are going to be too wide for what I want (due to majority of MI skiing being groomers).
