Hello there

I live out in the east coast and twice a year go to the west coast

I own a pair of jeronimo's that rock it for me in the west coast. I have some money saved and am looking for something to use for those icy east coast days. I was thinking about the presters since it is a fully cambered ski. Or maybe something like the volkl wall.


Any other ideas...

would i want a thinner ski at the waist?
I like to go hard and fast on groomers with advanced technique/

what do u want to ski, just groomers? then don't get a park specific ski.
I wouldn't get longer cambered skis than rockered, rockered tend to ski shorter

Yes a lot less park this year. More groomers and natural jibs, tree skiing etc.

the jeronimos are perfectly good skis for natural jibs and tree skiing on the east coast.
if u want something for icy days, they wont be the days u are jibbing and tree skiing, so get a fully cambered ski with some decent sidecut or make do with the jeronimo for everything
