Replying to Wied Question: ON3P KARTEL 98 VS. JERONIMO

So I have a dillema. Lets just say I may have a hookup to get a pair on new 2014 JMO's in 181 for a steal. The problem lies in the fact that I can get my hands on the 181 Kartel 98 for only a few dollars more.


I know the Kartel is 98mm and the JMO is 101mm in the waist. My question is which ski should I buy and why? What are the differences? I ski 70% all mountain 30% park. I live on the east coast so how either rides the deep stuff is irrelevant. My style is hard charging, back country booters, tree skiing, some bumps, and hot laps (pull slow floaty spins and rarely do rails).

Is there really a noticeable difference in these two skis?

+k to all for help. Need to make a decision before they are gone.
