I am in the market for pow skis and got a good offer for some Jmos. I have heard mixed things about these skis in the powder based off the limited reviews I've read. Do any of you guys have experience with these in powder conditions of various depths?
 
well, seeing as you live in WV, they will be fine in the amount of "pow" you get. being 96 under foot, they make an excellent do it all ski, rip the trees in the morning, then hit up the park in the afternoon.

out west, 96 is pretty narrow for a real pow ski from my experience with them.
 
I'll be using them in Utah for a while this winter. They will basically be a one-quiver ski for when I'm not in the park on my Halos and out west where I'm likely to see some nice pow.
 
Ive been thinking of picking up a pair of these also but not as a pow ski. I have a pair of pow skis for the rare east coast powder days and when I get to travel.

I need an everyday ski and these fit the length & width dimensions im looking for. The only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on these is the rocker. It doesnt look to be that dramatic in the diagram on their website. Is it noticeable when cruising on groomers and in the park?
 
well, any rocker is noticeable, but does it hinder the performance of the ski? not in the least, truthfully the rocker really makes the ski what it is. You can blast through crud easier, be more playful in the park, and get the added float in pow, all without loss of traditional ski characteristics. Scott (iggyskier) put a lot of time into the jmo design, and it really shows when you ride them.
 
if u already have a park ski get the caylor or billy goat from on3p cuz jmos are more park. id say 60% park and 40% all mountain or pow
 
And mine as well.

Mr_pretzel and I have talked a good amount about this ski, which you should read through here:

IMHO this year's Jeronimo looks like an improvement over the 2010-2011 model (which was a good ski to begin with).

I'll quote Scott Andrus of ON3P

"...for 11/12 the ski has a slightly rounder flex (bit softer underfoot mostly, ends are about the same), less camber underfoot, and the new elliptical rocker profile which isn't so abrupt"

I'll have a review of the 11/12 up soon.
