Ladies... Line Pandora or ON3P Jessie?

Lady shredders... I'm trying to decide on powder skis to buy while the prices are low! I've gone back and forth and deliberated on multiple different companies, styles, etc. I've narrowed it down to either the Line Pandora at 110 underfoot or the ON3P Jessie at 108 underfoot.

s'more deets to condsider:
- I live and ski in Utah
- Last year was my first full season on skis, and I fell in love (grew up snowboarding and surfing on the west coast)
- I'm athletic (5'7", 135 lb.)
- I want a ski that I can charge in many kinds of conditions. Fluffy powder, chopped up mashed potatoes, and I'd like to ride this ski when I take on a back country set-up.
- My main goal when I ski is to have fun, be creative, playful, and LEARN.
- I spent a lot of time in the park last winter with the low snowfall. I love skiing switch, throwing 3's, and popping off side hits. I want a ski that can take those park skills to natural features.

So, with all of that in mind- I wanna hear from you guys: Line Pandora or ON3P Jessie? Thoughts, opinions, personal experiences, or maybe an option I haven't considered yet? Let's hear it!

How about the ski that meets her needs and not a purchase based on who’s “cooler”?

Asking NS 2018 if they would recommend LINE vs ON3P..... Hmmmmm why do I feel as if I already know what 99% of folks will say?

On3P is commonly regarded to have a much better durability than line,however the pandora isn’t a piece of crap and will hold up well.
The Jessie would be suited better for natural freestyle jibs and the park whereas the Pandora is more of a powder and crud smasher shape.
They are both great skis and it ultimately comes down to your decision :0

Sounds like me when I was trying to narrow down what to get. I read about skis until my brain hurt. I don't know much about powder skis and powder since that doesn't happen much where I'm at. Good luck choosing.

I don't know much about either ski, but I do know utah, and if you're at snowbird, you'll want durability big time, it's a rocky mountain, especially early season.

This thread seems like I'll have better odds of finding a seller than my WTB with 1 dislike on it that may have been you
