i know the mango 100 and 90 is out i was just wondering what the difference was or which is better from other peoples point of view. this is for next year as i already ordered a pair of vishnu keys. i just cant decide to get between 90 and 102.

On a podcast, Scott said the 90 was kinda shaped more for east coast skiing and the 100 more for west coast. That doesn't necessarily mean that's how you should decide but maybe it will help.

that's an extremely good way to put it imo

I love 90 but I'm an east coast/midwest park rat
 
i personally like the 90 infinitely more and i think a lot of people would agree with that. magnus 102 is a pretty damn stiff ski.

Mango 100 is the most flexible park ski I've ever owned

*I rode short 4frnt switchblades for a season and those were softer but not sure if it was just because they were way too short (~167?)

mango isn’t the magnus and i think you’re just really good at buttering so of course it would be easy

Ay thanks haha. I mean you're not wrong that they are stiff. I just don't think they should be classified as a stiff ski because they are pretty much middle of the road. I went back to the podcast and it's just slightly softer than the Magnus. The key differences are a more rounded tip (for less swing weight) and a more turny sidecut, whatever that means. I sure loved them in moguls but not so much at high speeds compared to Jeffs
 
being 6’4 having a wider ski def helps. i rock the 102 and i ski the ice coast. it’s honestly personal preference but i find a wider ski to provide more stability rather than being a light ski. equally as playful nonetheless.
