Any suggestions? Need a wide bc jib ski. Im 185cm tall. Heard the Opus is the best one, but the core breaks easily..

I've got the jj's and fuckin love them, the only ski i use, pow or cruisin the groomers, would definitely recommend, but i've never had the opportunity to try out the bentchets or opus's.

They're pretty durable too, this is my fourth season with probably around 250 days on them and still going strong

I personally own the magnum opus and I love them. They're the best ski I've owned. I've had no problems with them at all. I've also had the chance to ride both the benchetlers and jjs I still feel the magnum opus are the best ones outta the three of them.

my chetlers are hands down the best skis ive ever owned. super playful but with carbon inserts underfoot theyre stable enough to hold up on those early spring cement days. and with the boat hull shape you wont find a better ski for floatation in deep pow. and theyre pretty durable. you wont regret it

Its only the first skis that came out this season with cloud core or something that broked easilly. Line fixed this and built a little more heavier ski. Heard about it in magazines and also contacted some dealers. I have som friends that broke the skis several times
