I wanna buy a pair of on3ps. Jeffreys. Debating on the 96 or 108. Im thinking 108 is too much ski for everyday so I’m kinda leaning towards the 96’s. Are these skis all hype or do they really perform??? I ski fast and all over the mountain. Steeps, icy moguls , park , groomers , powder etc...any input on jefferey 96/108 will help. Thanks.

Where do you primarily ski? I’m on the east coast and the 96s are my daily driver. I would say 96 for anything where you aren’t skiing fresh snow weekly.

My home mtn is big bear ca. Not much snow there so the 108s would probably get used for trips only. Skiing Alta in 2 weeks and go to mammoth whenever there’s fresh.. how do those 96s work for a daily driver ?

I love them. Like really really love them. Hard to ride any of my other skis after riding them. Probably going to pick up and pair of 108s next year too for soft days.

Recommended. Not sure why anyone would mount them anywhere else.

I am riding some Kartel 98's mounted -1.5 from center and I love them. I ski (PNW)Hood regularly, I do numerous trips to Utah/Idaho to catch some pow and they work great for me. Sounds like you are a good skier from what you describe you like to ski and the Jeffery is the right ski for you. As for the width, 98 is plenty wide for me but that is my preference. Anything over 100 for me feels like I have snowboards strapped to each foot.

Is that where the recommended mount point is? Yeah I’m leaning towards the 96s. Probably gonna order a pair of 186s today.

Recommended is -4 I believe. I would suggest staying at recommended but that’s just me.

@iggyskier should have some input on this. When I purchased my Kartels, I explained the type of skiing I do, similar to what you ski it sounds like. They recommended that I mount them -1.5 from center and they have worked great for me. Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the fam!
