I'm think about getting jeffs. Cuz i want more of all mountain ski that can do park. How do they preform in hard terrain. Also would it make more sense to get mangos cuz ill be doing like 60% park, but all the other time I'll be doing really hard stuff. Would Jeffs work for this?
 
This is exactly what Jeffs are made for, and they do it really well. Email ON3P about what you're using them for, and take their advice on where to mount them.
 
I have mango 100s for park and kartel 108s for big mtn and I wish I just got Jeff 102s and mounted them at -2 because they rip both park and big mtn hard and I wouldn’t need 2 skis.
 
Got a set of Jeff 100s and I love them for all mtn use and park. This season it looks like they are gonna add another waist width a 92 or 94 Jeff. I ski 70 park and 30 all mtn but have stuck with the Jeff line since it was kartel.
 
As everyone else said, yes. These skis are made for it and do it damn well, mounted rec (-4.5) is perfect for freeride with some park, -2cm is perfect for mostly park with some freeride.
 
You fucking nailed it my 100 are mounted at -2 and my kartel are at rec and they just rip hard all around

I got Jeffs at -2 and while im sure they rip in the park, I use mine 90% of the time on the upper mountain at Big Sky. They can do hard stuff, dont worry.
 
If you split between park and all mountain, Jeff 100 is the do it all ski. Recommended is like -4ish on that ski depending on length. If you spend a lot of time in the park, I would go like -2 or something to split the difference. Mine are dedicated park machines right now and I have them true center and they still rip. I love how the ski charges!
 
my jeff 102s are mounted true center and I have no problem ripping everything on the east coast, but maybe go with the recommended mount for steeper/harder all mountain
 
Absolutely love my jeffrey 100s!!! I use them 95% of the time in the park and got them mounted at -1cm. When I ride them outside of the park they're still awesome and I've even used them on light powder days
 
Unpopular opinion but unless you live in the Sierras, Alaska, Japan, or in the PNW, Jeff 100s are wide enough for anything under waist deep

If you know mike miguire that guy absolutely rips the Jeff 100s
 
If all these positive responses above mine aren't enough of a reason to get yourself a pair, here's my review:

If I could only ski 1 pair of skis for the rest of my life, I would pick my jeffreys. I have a pair of 110s mounted at -2 from true center and they are literally the most fun and capable pair of skis I have ever owned. If you don't live in the west or you're looking for a one ski quiver, I'd go with a 100 since they still do great in fresh snow and they'll be easier to lay over on edge, but the 110s are really a jack of all trades imo. I tried my friends' mango 110s once and I liked my jeffreys significantly more for all mountain performance.

If there is any fresh snow whatsoever I grab these skis, and even on a slushy spring park day they'd be a blast. They ski powder incredibly, they blast through crud, they feel incredible in the air and on rails, and while they aren't the lightest ski on the market, they are pretty manageable even with a pair of pivots on them and at 5'10" 155lbs I'm not the biggest guy. It's more than made up for with how durable they are, too. On3ps are quite literally bombproof. I slipped off the edge of a cliff and from the way it sounded I was convinced my bases got cheese grated by the rocks. When I checked at the bottom, I couldn't see any damage. No edge cracks, no core shots, just some very minor scratches and a little dent in the sidewall, presumably because my other ski's edge slammed into it.

On top of that, the company is just awesome. They support the sport, they have a stacked team, and they make incredible skis. Story time: one time I snapped one of my magnus 102s and sent a hail mary warranty claim even though the warranty had expired on my ski. They sent me the literal LAST singular ski that they had in the warehouse in my size and model year, free of charge, and within days it arrived at my door. The end.

TLDR: get jeffreys.

I have Kartel 98s, not 100s, but 1600 vert of 8 inches of heavier powder will exhaust the fuck out of you more than you’d think. Given how much tail they have it makes it even more tiring in deeper snow with the narrower Jeffs/kartels. The wider ones really are super helpful deep days in many other places than those.
 
I have the 100s in a 191 and used to have the kartel 98s in a 186. Lining them up side by side they look a lot different. My 100s have the exact same tip width as the Moment Wildcat 108s, are are considerably wider than the tip on the kartel 98s. Not sure how much but the side by side was noticeable. Although the 100s have slightly less aggressive rocker than than previous years, they still do great in deep snow.

You are 100% correct- maybe i was a little too absolute. A 100 Jeff in continental snowpack will perform very, very well on 90% of days.

i do agree there is a difference

Yeah you can get by skiing pow pockets not too bad in 100s but skiing a full day on them in deep or wetter pow will be real exhausting even though you maybe could. But yeah it will perform damn well almost all the time.
