Only heard positive things on this ski, so I'm considering picking up a pair. How well do they work in the pow? Obviously a park directed ski, but will the rocker keep me floating enough or am I gonna sink and waste away my pow days?
So the next question is the jmo I guess, if you have ever ridden them. Is it still fun and playful in the park? Am I still gonna have fun on em, or just too wide underfoot?
I ski minnesota with FR's and they are great in the park. I was at steamboat for a week and i think they got almost three feet of snow that week. I used them one day in about 14 inches and that was slow but still a lot of fun. A few other days when there was 4-6 inches fresh they were really fun, and I did not feel like they were sinking to bad and I felt like I could still control them very well. I have never skied on a fat ski, so I can't compare FR's to a powder ski. But when I ski powder once a year they work fine, and it was still a lot of fun.
jmos are ridiculously fun in the park. i have old ones so they are 96 underfoot but im sure the new ones kill it too. if you are only going to have one ski i would go jmo unless you ride park more than 90% of the time
I have the new jmo's they are center mounted. We got 13 inches last night. they skieed everything fine, deff. could tell my tips wanted to dive a lil sometimes though.
