everyone seems to love theirs so why wouldnt they be my next ski?

right now im skiing surface next lifes 160 and they are kinda my do everything ski.. not sure if i love that.

i would either get them for my park ski. im not big into jumps so it would mainly be for butters, rails, and boxes. im 5'2 and 90 pounds so if there is a softer ski it would be preferred.

then again i wouldnt mind getting a powderish, all mountain ski. id ski it in Utah, Colorado, BC conditions. Nothing extremely fat (like the chopsticks, which werent my favourite and now are for sale) i would like a softer ski but would like it not to chatter like crazy. these skis would be used for trees and 10 foot cliffs (nothing crazy.)


if you can help me out thanks!

they have a short running length because of the early rise in the tip and tail

the jmo looked sickkk. but i gotta say my lizzies are the best skis i've ever ridden. but i'm also tiny. lol. i've got some caylors and they are pretty sick. they are a lot for me to control in tight spaces but for flying through two feet of pow they are AWESOME. the lizzy replaced my caylors tho. and possibly my punx. lol. they've pretty much blown my mind. lol.

but i will say this. for charging through powder my caylors kill it. any rockered ski will ski short. swing weight is really your only issue. and from what i hear the jmo is a sick ski. i really want a pair. my lizzies are my everyday ski. but i still keep my caylors around for deep days and i'd love some jmo's for park.

Yup that's exactly what you need. I only skied them on iced out groomers and some pre season park but they kill it on groomers and they have mad pop for the park. You might just need to adjust a bit for rails because they will be longer and wider but it's so worth it if you want an all around ski.With the rocker 171 shouldn't be too long for you to ski around. You won't regret getting those skis they are BOMB.
