I'm 5'10" 140 lbs and an intermediate-advanced skier. I'm looking for a powder ski that can take a couple park runs every now and then. I'm planning on buying a pair of slightly used park skis for park laps and urban. Originally I was set on the SFBs but then I read a couple threads on the Jeffreys and they sound sick. Help me make up my mind and pick a size.
Thanks

get a 181 or 186 Jeffrey. Both sizes would fit, 181 would be a lil easier to jib, 186 would be better for pow.

186s seem a little too bit for me.

181cm Jeffrey's would be the largest size I would recommend. 140lbs isn't much weight for throwing around 186's.

This here, I'm 5'9 and 170 lbs. and I'm worried about being able to handle 174 (that measure to 178) K2 domains that are center mounted. I think 186 would probably be a little much for you. I still don't understand how most NSrs are so skinny..

I can't say anything to the jeffrey's, but I'm 5'7" 135 lbs and I use 178 bacons. Two words - smooth and fun. They aren't a super hardcore powder ski by any means, but they handle most pow days soooooo smoothly. Really their best strength is their is the sidecut + rocker combo - they just turn sooooo fluidly and easily. The most fun I have on them is just ripping through warm spring snow and doing slow spins off jumps. I don't take them on rails though - gotta save dem edges.

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm leaning more towards the Jeffrey in a 181, only if they weren't so expensive!
