Im looking at buying new skis for next year, I had my eyes on the ON3P Jeronimo's and i also came across the Moment Vice. Just what some info on what would be the better all mountain 50/50 ski!

I know nothing about the ON3Ps but I have Vices. They are great skis, pretty stiff. They are nice with the mustache rocker though, camber in the middle rocker outside does a nice job of gripping ice (I live in Minnesota) and landings on medium jumps, but the rocker lets you play around with butters and such. They are also lightweight.

Been riding the J'mos for the past month or so and they're a blast! surfy and stable all over the mountain, and I like the feel of a wider ski in the park so they've been treating me right. They are a little heavier if you're used to a light park ski so that would be something to get used to when spinning, but the swing weight isn't bad so they come around pretty easy. I haven't had a chance to ride pow on them but something tells me they'd hold up just fine, got a real nice shovel on the front.

You seriously can't go wrong with ON3P. They make bomber skis. As someone who skis ON3P and has multiple friends with Moment, I'd say ON3P is the way to go.

Both good though, I guess you really can't go wrong.

He makes a good point about width, the Vices are pretty narrow, which works just fine for me in MN where all we do is ski on ice. But despite having a huge rocker on the front they do not float well in loose snow (they do fine in slush and crud but powder I don't think would work). So that may make a difference for you depending on where you ski.

The Jeronimos have a way wider waist than the vices. You should look at the jeronimo and the pb&j for 50/50 all mountain/park. The vice won't handle deeper snow nearly as well as the jeronimo or pb&j
