Wanna cop the On3p Jeffery 108 with softer option. I want to know how much of a difference it makes and also if any of you guys have them how do you like them?

I have the Katel 108s. Basically the same ski, just two seasons old. By far my most favorite skis I’ve ever used and couldn’t recommend them enough. Super versatile and can ski everything from ice to powder, and are super stable on landings.

I don’t know about how much softer their custom flexs are though.

I have the softer flex on my custom j 108s and they’re still pretty darn stiff. They still do pretty much anything you’d want them too. Definitely one of the best skis I’ve ever had. If you want something softer I’d go for the Magnus 102.

I got the softer option and it was too soft for me. Thought that with my lighter weight the softer/lighter custom kartel 108 would be perfect... but unfortunately turned out not to be the case. Felt they were much less substantial than my kartel 106s for some reason... and I'm 5ft 6, 145 lbs - pretty competent all round skier. Would recommend softer mainly if you want to do more buttering/flexing tricks. Otherwise I felt that it made the ski alot less predictable and harder to hold an edge. So much so that I ordered a normal flex Jeff 108 and am selling my softies.

The magnus is not softer. It’s almost the same if not the same flex as the Jeffrey. It just has more rocker and a different shape.

How does the flex on those compare to the Magnus 90s, also would you consider selling them to me? What topsheet

Its a 171 length Jeffrey 108 from last year. Drilled for 292 mm boot sole length (25.5 boot size) salomon shifts on the line. Top sheet is the Canadian Eh topsheet. In Calgary, Canada. Would prefer to find a local buyer.... but where do you live?

Never skied the magnus, but I think it's stiffer.

I have a custom 108 in the extra soft flex from 3 years back. I'd say that they get really soft flex wise, which makes them super fun to butter and hit the park or BC jumps in spring. However, it also makes them hard to ski fast since the nose flaps quite a bit, and since Jefferys' already have little effective edge and are detuned, they will be a pain in the ass in icy conditions. On the other hand, I'd say it is a really versatile ski in anything soft, and it definitely is above average for its width in pow.
I think it is a great ski overall but also one that is somewhat limited in the conditions it excels at.

Softer Jeffrey’s are possibly my favorite spring slush ski ever.
