Hello everyone, next year I'm moving from the east coast to Colorado and currently only have a pair of skis, which is park skis so I was looking to get a new pair of all mountain/pow skis,
I currently ride 186 ON3P Filthy Riches and I love them so I was looking at another pair of ON3P's which is my next question, if I go with those, which ON3P's should I get ?
I'm 6' , weight 162, my current din is 8 on my filthys (don't know if this helps but whatever). I probably wouldn't really take these in the park, just use my filthys for that
, I would just use these around the mountain hitting whatever jumps and cliffs I see, moguls, trees, groomers, powder pretty much anything. I like a playful ski and I'm just wondering what y'all thought. I was thinking maybe kartel 98s or 108s but I wasn't sure.

Thanks

Also want to add I'm 18, slender/muscular build, price isn't really an issue as long as it's below like $800 but the cheaper the better, also I haven't really thought about bindings yet but if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it,

Unless you want to tour which doesn't sound like it, FKS/Pivots (same bindings just rebranded) are imo the best binding on the market. For a slightly cheaper and lighter option id check out the Attack 13s.

There is 181 and 191 Jeffery 114s on sale now. I love mine for all mountain and pow skiing. They're super playful but also charge hard.

If you are rising at an 8 din you could settle for the 12, but there are some sweet deals on Evo.Com right now for 12s and the 14s so I'd check that out

If you're looking at a 2 ski quiver and need an all mountain/pow setup to complete it I'd look at something over 105mm to pair with the Filthy Rich. Jeffrey 114's are pretty rad, same with Kartel 108 if you wanna stick with ON3P. Lots of other options in that category too: Armada ARV 108 for next year look sweet, Line SFB, Moment Deathwish, RMU apostle, 4FRNT Kye 110 (stiffer).

As more of a jib oriented ski I would probably recommend the 181. I know Karl skied the 181 Jeffery 122 in japan last year so I don't think you would find them to be too short in most situations. The 191 would be a better ski for charging fast around the mountain but the may feel a little more cumbersome in the air. I weigh 175lbs at 6' and I ski the 186 Jeffrey 114s. They feel about perfect for all around skiing both in powder and all mountain but I think I would feel like the 181s would be a little better on backcountry booters.

186cm Kartel 106 (on sale now) or next year's 186 Kartel 108 would be my recommendation.

Get Jeffrey 114's because they are the best skis ever made and have magic panda saliva in the bamboo or something so they ski everything with the focus and zen of 1000 pandas.

For real though they are awesome skis. They are very playful, but also damp so they can still charge and make it awesome to ski steeps super playfully. I have heard great things about the Kartel 106's too, they are a little more playful than the Jeffs and with a little less float and charge-ability

Very bitter that they're fazing them out next year

Kartels from what I hear are great, both widths. Really nice Graphic too.

Candide 3.0 seems to be a good fit for you they are stiff but not super stiff and they are light and easy to spin off cliffs with. They also rip the whole mountain at 108 underfoot. Hope this helps!

Definitely go wider IMO if you've already got a good groomer/park ski. Just so much more fun when theres some snow.

If you were going for the ON3P's, I would highly recommend the Kartels. If it were a 1 ski quiver, you might want to consider the 98's but since you'll be using the filthy riches, I suggest getting the 106's. As stated above, The Candide 3.0's may be a good idea and I suggest looking at them too. Hope this helps.
