I’m 6’2 165lbs

Trying to decide on if next season I should get 189 wets, wet plus or normal wides.

Looking for something as playful as possible and good for jibbing yet still fine on like 30-40 foot jumps max.

it’s been my first season skiing and I can do like 270s off rails and do down rails / 180s and 360s.

Been riding 185 blends and they’ve felt stable enough so far, but I don’t know what other skis feel like. Kinda beat em to hell.

My main mountain is big bear so it’s pretty much all park which is why I lean towards the wets for their low swing weight. But I like to go to mammoth a couple times a year so I’m wondering if the wides would be a better choice for some pow versatility and more stability in the park.

hoping to take some trips to like Vancouver or Zermatt next year so maybe having the wides will be more versatile? Idk
 
Basically do you think I will appreciate the low swing weight and soft flex of the wet? Ramp it to wet plus? Or more versatility of the wide?
 
Really wanting the normal wet, not sure if it would be too soft and rockered for medium jumps like I said

You could do either. The Plus is slightly stiffer but you can still flex into them like you can the regular wets. I am 6'3 and with all the leverage its nice to have the little extra stiffness
 
if youre gonna be sending 40 foot jumps, my advice is to wait till they release more info about "the key", their new model. From what I've seen, it seems to be a jump oriented ski. With that, im not sure how flexy/playful/buttery they will be. If that doesnt interest you, I think the WET PLUS is your next best option. It is a bit stiffer than the regular wet, so it will provde some added stability. However, it isnt too stiff, it plays around just like the regular wets do.
