Jeffrey 96 vs 102

[SchizoSkier]

Cant decide wether to cop the 96 or 102. Or does it even matter since it’s only 6 mm difference. I’ll be using these pretty much 80% park 20% all mtn

If it makes any difference I use my 96 wrens for nearly everything. Work just fine up to 2' of snow. I know different ski but they both got big rocker so if your concern is not enough width for snow, I'm saying you'll be fine with 96. Will also make carving that much more fun with a narrower ski. Wider is gonna be heavier to toss around but could give you more stability in certain circumstances.

No bad decision here imo but I vote 96 if it matters.

96 Jeffreys are one of the best sounding skis

One ski quiver or do you have a bigger ski for deeper days?

I have surface givers which are 100 mm underfoot I think. But I don’t ski a lot of powder so

Personally Id go for the 102s at copper. A touch more width is nice when there’s any new snow, and it’ll still perform well in the park at 102. You would be fine on the 96 as well if you think you want something snappier on rails, but at that point I might start looking at the Mango. Or you could go up to the 110 and start skiing pow. Pow is tight

Pretty much what [tag=184429]@Paul.[/tag] Said. 102 is a great do it all width, is your priority outside of the park trees and soft or carving on hardpack, 102 or 96 depending on what you do outside of the park.

I'm also stuck on this. I ski the east coast mainly but I had the 98kartel that I am finally done with and they have no edges or tails left. Idk what would be best trees on the east are tight I love skiing bumps along with park too
