looking for a good pair of powder skis. I'm about 5'10 and 170 pounds. I don't ski powder very much but when i do its usually in 10 to 15 inches deep. i like to slash and spray it everywhere. and love to go through tight tree runs and find pillows. I've been looking at all of the on3p line up and they seem pretty good. my other options are armada bubbas, k2 hell bents, and atomic bentchetlers. what would you guys recommend. ik theres a lot of options but any info would be awesome. not sure if ill put some touring bindinggs on them yet but as of right noe I've got some salomon wardens that Im gonna slap on them.

Do you want to try and ski backwards and hit booters?

If yes, then it's between the Jeffery 114 and the Jeffery 122 (more forward mount, more stable on landings)

If no, then it's between the Jeffery 114 and 122, Billy Goat, and Cease and Desist

Between the 114 and the 122, you'll probably want the 114 because it'll ski a bit better in the tight trees, both can handle 10-15 inches. The only reason you may want to jump up to the 122 is the flat camber and extra rocker it provides. But, I think the 114 is better for you.

The Billy Goat is a hard charger and will destroy everything in it's path, the C&D might be a bit much, but if you do get a really deep day they're really fun.

So I would choose between the Jeffery 114 and the Billy Goat. Jeffery if you ever plan on getting jibby, Billy Goat if you just want to go fast and hard through whatever is in front of you.

You've made like 15 threads about new skis this season. Either do your own research or don't and buy the wrong skis but stop flooding gear talk with your stupid bullshit.

Most of your suggestions are probably overkill for what you described. If you don't actually ski pow that much, just get something around 108ish underfoot, it'll be significantly more versatile, and will see much more use than a 130 underfoot pow board.

This. Something like SFB or Devy makes more sense than Jeffery 122. Although the jeffery is versatile, you'll find a skinnier waist will be quicker and even more versatile
