Best 105-110mm ski for having fun

[Gringo]

I grew up as an avid park skier and have found myself gravitating towards all-mountain/powder over the past few years. Currently on ARV 96's and they just don't do it for me. I am looking to move up to the 105-110mm range and want a playful ski that I can rip at high speeds inbounds, spin/flip-off jumps and drops, and run through powder.

I've been looking at both the Line Sir Francis Bacons and ON3P Jeffery 108's. Would love any suggestions.

(If it matters, I'm 177cm but would ski 181-184cm. Also skiing CO and UT)

K2 marksman could always be something to look into. Super fun for me when ever we get snow here on the east. That being said kinda hard to find since their not made anymore. The jefferys seem like a solid choice tho tons of people on here love them

First of all, ur complete ass at skiing. If you were really as good as you say you wouldn’t need ski advice from the windowlickers on NS.

Second, ur gonna want the SFB. Maybe hit the gym and you can get Jefferies but until then ur absolute dogwater

Was thinking the SFB's too myman. Funny you mention the gym bc I'm sure you're ACL needs some strengthening ???

Like others mentioned - SFBs are supposed to be a blast. Jeffreys are supposed to be really fun too. I would look into 4FRNT devastator and moment meridian too. Meridian looks the most fun to me but you do lose some float on deeper days with them.

Kinda random and they lose a bit of cool factor, but I thought the blizzard rustler series was really fun (for what you described) when I demoed them a couple of years ago. That being said - I have 5 pairs of skis and I do not own any rustlers so take that for what you will.

You will adapt to the ski regardless of what you buy. Part of the fun for me is finding deals around me.

Do you consider playgrounds to be fun?

I haven’t heard anything bad about these, But I’m not down with the asymmetrical sidecut.

Armada makes some very balanced skis, faction 3.0 flex was stiff but the rocker and sidecut kept it nimble and hook free - brilliant ski IMO. Icelandic nomad is killer, skis really well, holds up well - my homie is on his third set. Vishnu makes some craaaazy whacky but beautiful skis- “maaaannn, you have to ski it to understand.” I also love the J skis cause who doesn't love a J amirite?

105 nomad lite were a super fun spring shredder, even mounted 5mm front of center they shredded pow, park, and slush with ease. (mounting selection was due to previous mounting position) I have 50 days on them and 90% was aggressive rail abuse still holding

This is exactly what we made the Devastator for (and why our whole Team skis it). 108mm underfoot. Super fun for tricking and side-hits + drops. Also a blast in powder. Definitely worth checking out.
