I need some skis that are 160-163 cm. I want them to be a mostly big mountain and a little bit park. Preferably 100-108 underfoot. This is kind of an awkward size and not a lot of ski companies make it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

On3p Jessie 108s? They're bringing back the 161 this year. Softer snow shape than the jeffrey(Kartel) 108- more tail taper like the jeffrey 116.

My gf loves hers. Not exactly hard pack Carver's but they get it done in chop & pow & crud & slush & would be fine for a bit of park.

I picked up some 4frnt devastators 164cm this year. They are 102 in the waist and fully rockered. Check Sterbenz stash (Just search "Sterbenz stash 4frnt" on google) they got a pair of 164 devastators with two right graphics for $300.

While I am here I would go with recommended mount. I mounted them -3cm from center and if I could do it again I would do recommended which is about -5cm from center unless you do lots of switch landings in powder/chop or lots of park.

We're making our Vacation ski in a 166cm length next year (plus two new graphics dropping August 1st), which is measured before pressing so final straight pull length will be ~163cm.

It'll be 104mm underfoot so awesome float and really surfy all around the mountain. It's the ski everyone here in the office rides as both a touring and park ski, which fits your needs perfect.

You can check it out here: jskis.com/collections/vacation

Awesome! Looked on the website and didn't love the graphic but oh well. Maybe they will have a different graphic for next year.

Yeah that brotherhood graphic isn't for everyone but there are two brand-new ones coming out August 1st! One is a collab with this rad chick Samm Moore who does pyrography and the other is a collab with photographer Colton Jacobs.
