Looking to fill a "missing spot" in my quiver. Not really missing and not exactly needed but I like skis.
As is, have 180 brahmas as hard snow, bump type skis. 176 Jeronimos (newly) center mounted as a mostly park ski, 187 GPOs as 6+ inch resort ski, 192 Protests as deep storm day and cat ski.
So no, I don't need another ski, but with retiring the Jeronimos to purely park duty in the midwest when I'm not racing, I'm wanting a fun all mountain jib type pow ski, for 1-6 inches of snow or so when hom in CO. Thinking 110~ underfoot, low-mid 180s length. I'm 5'9 165lb, grew up skiing in CO, typically ski with a a more centered stance but racing has gotten me better aquainted with the tips and edge of my skis.
Regardless I'm not looking for a charger, for my needs GPO fits that well enough (really a playful charger but ~). Occasionally take my bro's BGs out as well.
Looking for a fun jibby pow ski to screw around with, hit some kickers, butter, few park laps, etc when there's fresh stuff but not a lot.
Deathwish looks like it fits the bill well, always wanted a moment ski and a triple camper ski. Also seems like it will be fun to carve. Jeffrey (older 110 would be ideal, but who knows if I'll find one. 114 fine too, maybe new kartel 108 but not shelling out for brand new planks) seems right up my ally, maybe a little more jib oriented? Patrons also seem fun, haven't found a ton about it, might not do as well in any rougher spots at the resort?
Older SFBs might fit the bill too...
Just curious what people's opinions are on the comparisons between these skis, who have skied some/all of these
