186 Jeffrey is my choice.

If you prefer a more traditional, directional ski, the 186 Vicik is an awesome choice.

It comes down to whether you want a playful ski that can handle everything, or a directional charger to charge your local mountain.

Me, I couldn't decide between one or the other; I own both.

Simon, for your dad id either get the vicik or the jeffery
vicik is more of a traditional ski while the jeffery has some tip and tail rocker
and size wise I'd go 186

Simon - both the Vicik or Jeffrey would fit the bill, depending on your style of skiing. Both can be skied aggressively and would suit you in a 186cm, but the vicik will give you a bit more edge hold and stability at speed, where the Jeffrey will be a bit more playful and jibby when you want it to be.

We have both the 186cm Jeffrey & 186cm Vicik at The Plankey in Bend.

1441 SW Chandler Ave, Suite 101

If you get a chance, stop by and check them out in person as I find that it is often helpful in determining what is the best option for you. If you have any questions give the factory a call - 503-206-5909. Thanks!
