What's up NS, I'm reaching out to anyone who can help me find a pair of park/all mountain skis that will not delaminate after just 1-2 months. Im currently 6'6" and weigh a good 215-220 lbs. I know that there has to be some other tall dudes out there who don't want to buy skis that end up looking like snow blades on them. Thanks for whoever answers this (also I am not too concerned about the $ as long as they will last me a season).

Jeffrey 102s in 191. ON3Ps measure true so they will be the same length as 193s made by other companies

The thing that surprised me about keys is how little splay they have in the tips and tails, they kinda look like cardboard.

It’s not a criticism of the ski just something I noticed

I’m 6’3-6’4 so I feel you on the ski troubles.

Next ski will for sure be the wet+ next year, but right now I’m loving some CT1.0s in 188 that I found secondhand.

Jeff 102 is my daily in 191 and am in love with these. Definitely noticeably higher swing weight than the factions but not severe.

other options I looked at were the 188 revolt 104s, for park I’d prefer that to the Jeff 102 since it has a further forward mount point
