Can anyone give me some insight on differences between the two? I am looking at both as potential skis to add to the quiver next year.

I know they have different skiable edge lengths, different widths, and different turn radiuses. I was inquiring to see more about stiffness, ability to perform on variable snow, and how they work on groomers.

They both are fine on groomers and crud. It depends what you want. It's really a tradeoff. Are you looking for a playful ski that can ski groomers really well, and hold it's own in the crud? Or are you looking for more of a high speed charger to hate fuck the mountain, and terrorize gapers.

I own/have owned both. I came to the realization that even though I'm not real park oriented I prefer a more playful ride. So I own the Jeffery, but I also have a 186 J-mo.

viciks are pretty directional, less rocker in the front and none in the rear.

jeffreys are almost symmetrical and designed to be playful and fun riding switch, with plenty of rocker.

both designed for similar conditions but different styles of riding. imo, it comes down to whether you like to play more or charge more and if you want switch riding ability or not.

are you going to ever take these through a park?

Doh! Oops. Should have looked over it all more carefully. Stupid mistake.

I am looking for more of a charger, but will still be able to navigate the tight EC trees. I have no intention of riding switch often, but will hit the occasional BC booter.
