One ski quiver - Gear Talk - Forums

this is a good thread - to turn it up side down - what would the ultimate specs be for a one ski quiver if NS was to make it?I would say 100-105 under foot wide enough to float and still go on edge on ice or groom. 130-140 shovel to get lift tip and tail rocker for lift - traditional under foot for good edge hold Medium stiff - play full and still with an ability to charge Directional flex for good all mt ability, but still with a great park feel - but maybe a little softer in the tail binding mid sole at 3-4 from the center.

Sorry man, rough morning. Have you tried charging with them in any non perfect 3d snow though? I guess I just feel like they wouldn't be that great due to flex and shape

Nah mate! This is my second season on JJs and they are awesome everywhere. Hell I blasted it down an icy gs course on them when I was out filming with my race team and they were fine. I normally ski european alps which have variable conditions nearly all the time and the JJs kill it everywhere. The JJs are great and are the best fat, all mountain ski I have skied. (I have skied all that have been mentioned so far apart from On3ps as it is SO EXPENSIVE to import them. And the nordicas - don't know much about them)

JJ is gonna be my one quiver ski... but then again im at baker so its pow everyday

Arguably any ski could be a "one ski quiver" but you can't possibly have superior float via a wide waist whilst also being fast edge to edge. That is why powder skis are wide and carving skis are narrow (duh). The REAL DILEMNA IS: how slow do you want to be able to go while staying on top? Any ski will float if you go fast enough.

IDEALY for me 115 at the waist, floats like a dream, but super quick side to side, rails groomers, with radius 18-20. Mounted 4-5 from center. obvioulsy no ski is perfect in powder, while also perfect on groomed terrain. but that would be my ideal ski! haha anyone heard much on the 2013 line influence 115?!?! besides the blister review and powderpoachers review.

Is there truely a one ski quiver out there?!?! -A ski that can float effortlessly in POW -Charge hard and stable on groomers -Still super fun and playful -Turn through the trees I know it's not possible to have the best of each of those catagories, but is there a ski that is decient at all of them? I was looking at the Line MP Opus since I hear and read it can carve up groomers and turn on a dime, but how does it hold up at speed? Also my buddy really likes the Faction Royale. I do prefer a ski on the wide side, since I will be doing some hiking and maybe some side country stuff, but it needs to be able to handle itself on the groomers when Im out with the wife, or just crusing on a non pow day. Is there any hope for this one ski or do I just have to go buy a different skis for all my sking dreams to come true?

Regarding the Opus, it really does everything you mentioned extremely well and is a mega-fun ski, plus decent groomer performance. I charge groomers fast as fuck, and although I can visually see a bit of chatter up front, it behaves and doesn't get out of hand, nor can I feel it, especially when it's on edge. I don't ever have to think about it. I go fast all the time and need a ski that can keep up and keep stable, and they give me no issues. The near center recommended mount is a godsend in the trees especially when it's tight and you need to pivot around a lot. When it's steep and/or deep, they turn sideways to slough off speed, and you start to enjoy having so much edge to work with behind center. I've skied many, many skis and they are one of my favorites and a brilliant design if you ask me. Talk about playful!

Mofucking bent chetler. Will never buy another pow ski. It's also my daily driver and anyone you talk to who has skied it will say the same

Quoting Session from Mar 19 2012 12:53:27:
It's good, I wish the tips and tails didn't flop. Anyways, I skied my Jefferies yesterday on a day I could have easily skied Bentchetlers. Yesterday reinforced my opinion that If I had to own ONE ski, it would be the ON3P Jeffery.

well idk which year you have, but i have the 2011-2012s and they stiffened the tails so they dont chatter barely at all....
