Sizing on the Jeffery 108

I’m shopping for a pair of used skis I’ll be using for daily driving. I’m tore between an older pair of 170cm Marksman 102’s, 172cm Line Bacons and 177cm Jefferys 108’s. I’ve never had a shot to try out a pair of ON3P’s but definitely want to, I typically like a shorter ski in the 169-173cm range as I’m on the shorter side at 5’8 150lbs. My passed daily skis where 177cm ARV96’s but got rid of them due to the stiffness and unsurfyness they have. Currently using my 169cm hellbents for daily’s.


whats the sizing like on each of those three skis?

Jeffrey 108’s will be way less surfy than the arv’s but they are the only ski you listed in a size you should even consider.

I am the same height, a bit heavier but not much. You will love the Jeffery.

They ski everything and ski it well. They are stiff enough to be stable when riding hard, handle bumps, great in the park, and are super durable. Numerous seasons on mine and other than some top sheet damage, they are in decent shape.

2nd to everything that oldmanski said. Im 6' 155lbs and ride the Jeffrey in a 186. I think you would be stoked with either the 181 or the 176. One thing I love about this ski is the harder you ski it, the more force and energy that you put in, the more enjoyable it becomes. This ski literally rips. The bases are super super durable. Ive done multiple cliff drops straight to rocks, and the only damage is base scratches. If you got any questions feel free to shoot me a pm or just reply on this thread.

I’m looking to get some Jeffrey 100s and I ski 177 ARV 96s right now. I’m 5’8 155 and I’m stuck between the Jeff 176 and the 181. I ski mostly park but will be using these skis in oregon where I’ll be doing 60 all mountain 40 park. Do you think I go for the 181 or the 176?

181s for sure. 5cm isnt that big of a difference. You'll be happy with the extra length when going fast
