Anyone could talk a bit on the differences between the mango 90’s and 100’s?

Thinking of picking up a pair of mango’s, but i’m undecided on whether i want the 90’s or the 100’s. i just had an unplanned move to the midwest, so will mainly be skiing park. i also have a pair of jeffrey 110’s that i’ll mostly use when i head out west.

not sure on the swing weight differences and the stability between the 90 and the 100, but the website shows a .03kg difference for the 176’s, and it seems that the weight is an almost unnoticeable weight
for a wider more stable ski that’ll also probably be better for a playful all mountain ski when the snow isn’t enough for a 110.

anyone have input on the 90 and the 100? ill be doing some street skiing too when i’m not going out west.

Two of my favorite skis ever, constantly cant decide which ones to ride haha. With the 100, the swing weight isnt much more than the 90 and it holds up so much better outside of the park, definitely my favorite do-it-all ski I have ever had. It is super fun in the park and absolutely rips anywhere on the mountain. On the other hand the 90 in my opinion is the best park ski ever made, it is very stable with a great flex pattern and rocker profile so you can have confidence going big/fast into tricks while also being playful on the more mellow features. The 90s are not very fun outside of the park imo, so if you are strictly skiing park definitely go with the 90s but if youre looking for a ski that you can have fun anywhere on any day, go with the 100s.

yea they seem like pretty similar skis and both pretty great, but i’d mainly be skiing park as in the midwest there’s like nothing but park, and i would only be using the skis outside of park when i travel out west for vacation. the 100’s seem really nice for a more stable platform, but is the 90’s noticeably more playful or better in the park than the 100’s?

While I can't speak on these particular skis, seeing that I've never ridden them, I can say that the main thing you notice with different widths is the edge-to-edge control you get on rails, similar to carving. if you want an ever so slightly "looser" feel, the 100 is great. I would only get the 90 if you plan to ski only park and 75ish% of it being rails. the small waist is just gonna feel more "uniform" and make swaps etc. a little easier. It always seems to help me if I just watch someone ride them too... Idk take this with a grain of salt, and just go with your gut. you'll probably be right.

In that case id say you should definitely get 90s, i feel like they are perfect skis for midwest rope-tow parks

yea that’s what i was thinking, but im
also more of a fan of airs rather than rails, as i come from freeride. though i do wanna start hitting rails, i’m still more comfortable on airs and probably what i prefer, but also my new home mtn has much more rails.

my new home mtn is gonna mainly have rails, but i’ll still be spending time in airs, as that’s what i prefer, coming from a freeride background, so that’s why i’m having a hard time deciding between 90’s or 100’s.

I'd recommend the narrower ones if you're going to be in the midwest. They'll be quicker edge to edge all over the hill, and that nimble feel is nice when you're learning any trick, including jumps. It's easier to make small, quick edge adjustments in your approach and take off. I prefer a narrow park ski anyway though, as I learned when a 90 mm waist was only on "pow" skis like the Seth Vicious and Salomon Gun!

yea the 90’s are probably the best fit for midwest, but i do like a more stable platform. but im also new to rails, which i feel the 90’s would be better at for learning, but i heard having a bit wider skis has better control on rails but im not sure lol

I grew up not far from there but never went because I didn't learn how to ski until I was an adult.
You wont go wrong really, with either ski here in the Midwest.

yea i’m still tryna decide if i want more stability or more nimble and quick ig lol. i just don’t know how much of a difference the 100 will be over the 90, as swing weight isn’t much different either, tho edge to edge would be slower.
