Hey please help, i am looking for a ski that i can just charge the whole mountain with and get some speed. Groomers, moderate pow, park, bumps, crud, slush, ice, and every condition in between. I absolutely love the reviews from the L-toro because of how playful and poppy they are and i love 101 underfoot which is perfect for me in pow and groomers/park. They are my first choice. But ON3P has never gotten a bad review, and i just read a review saying it was the best ski they have ever ridden (best park and pow ski), but 110 seems a little fat, to be a one ski quiver. i would love for you guys to make up my mind, and give me an honest answer of what you think i should get. although the jefferys do look sick. they are my second choice. i am: 5'7 125 lbs what size, which ski? any response helps!

im in a similar situation, looking for a wider park ski, mostly cause i like wide park skis, but also because it'd be fun all over the place. I will say, i had the surface one life last year, which is 112 underfoot, and that thing was awesome in the park. jumps could be a little weird with the super aprupt rocker, but rails and everything else were great. so i wouldnt count out a 110 waist ski. check out the shredditor 112 too.

that being said, i want the l-toro. i just checked out the shredditor 102 yesterday, and it looks sweet as well, good medium soft flex but pretty solid underfoot, minimal camber and a good amount of rocker. so its between those two for me.

It depends on what you plan to use them for, more all-mountain than park or more park than all-mountain? The il toro is a little more park oriented than the Jeffery, while the Jeffery just kills it everywhere. The il toro is a bit softer, but not by much (deal more just makes them look soft because of how hard he charges them). I'd say the Jeffery is the all-around better ski, but might not be the ski you want if you really want to use them a ton in the park (unless your focus is really slow spins and not a million switch-ups on a flat bar). You said you were worried about the waist width of the Jeffery, why not consider the Jeronimo? Is very similar to the Jeffery, just slightly more park oriented (Jeffery is probably 70/30 all-mountain/park while the Jeronimo is more like 50/50 all-mountain/park). Yes, the Jeffery is mor fun than the jmo on groomers and pow, but the jmo is more fun in the park, so it's all about what you plan to do with them.
