I mainly ride park all the time, but once i go on ski vacations with my families. I ride more than park, we always go to Park City every year around christmas, and i want something to take off trail. Im not sure what do get but had my eye on these three brands. Let me know which i should go with.?

- On3p J'mos

- RMU Diam's

- Surface Live lives.

+K for help

And could you list your experience with durability in the companies.

Right now I'm riding Armada Alpha 1's Turning into Urban skis.

Also Should i get FKS?
 
I would go with the Jmos. ON3Ps durability is absolutely nuts.

And for FKSs I'd say yes. I've had quite a few durability problems this year with mine, but I from most people that theirs are indestructible. BUT, I haven't hurt my knee yet *knock on wood* so I can't complain too much.
 
I mean if you're only going to be in Park City going off trails once a year they will work perfect for you. Sure you could probably find a ski better for going off piste but it won't preform nearly as well as the Jmo in the park.
 
Look at the website. They're 108mm underfoot so mid-fat. I would go with the Jmos. They will float fine because of their rocker.
 
yeht thats what i thought....... Im stoked I'm getting next years j'mos and black FKS or Orange depending on the Jmos top sheet next year
 
Don't be scared, just get the Jmos and your life will be complete.

Keep in mind, this years are 96 underfoot and next years are 101 underfoot (unless you're planning on getting a 171 or 161 of next years...but I don't think that's the case). So if you're looking for an under100 ski get this years, if you're looking for a ski that's about 100 get next years. If you're looking at 75% park on the east coast, you'll probably want this years, they'll crush it on groomers and handle themselves well in powder (I just hit Brighton 2 days ago with 9inches of fresh in some untracked areas, about knee to waist deep powder, on my Filthy Riches and they could hold their own, Jmos would have done even better...but I do wish I had my Jefferys that day, Steele made them look like so much fun those runs), and at 96 they'll still be nimble and responsive and easier to spin in the park.
 
Here's the catalog:

As far as mounting, I'd personally put them at center, but I'd be using them more for park than anything else, maybe like 1 or 2 back at most. It's really personal preference, are you ok with riding a non-symmetrical ski center mounted?
