animatorFire. Just buy it
EPfanboyAlready have! And im just worried that i should swap to the Billy goats
animatorYou have to be the king of overthinking shit dude holy
The Jeff’s are supportive and playful they are the household name for “playful charger”
Bended_ToenailActually any drop will destroy ON3P skis. From what I've heard their durability is really bad!
I kid.
OP: they will be fine for whatever. As someone else said, they are kinda the household name for a playful charger

driftsthis might be ditch vs on3p pt.2
EPfanboyWhat happend with on3p skis and a ditch? i have seen a few people reference it
animatorPeople were claiming the skis were unbreakable and someone broke a pair when they slammed into a ditch it’s one of the only testimonies to a pair of ON3Ps breaking
ericformanWhat length did you get and what is height / weight. They are basically the definition of a ski for hitting natural features - playful shape but strong and supportive.
the only way this could go against you is if you go way too short as there is a a lot of tail rocker.

shin-bangAs someone who rides both the jeffrey and the BGs frequently, it comes down to your style of riding.
billy goats hands down are the best to land cliffs and drops in soft snow. theyre a great ski for wide open fast riding. however, they WILL kick your ass if you ever ride back seat in the slightest on any terrain. Im not a huge fan of them in tight trees or extensive moguls. i do feel a major difference in landings between being on them vs another ski.
Jeffreys on the other hand, are still supportive. thyere definitely not a noodles. I have washed/wheelied out a couple times on cliffs that have flatter landings, but thats probably just me being a n00b. hell, everything i do on my BGs my friend does on his edollos. jeffreys are still fun and easily skiable with a more neutral stance. Theyll rip anything with ease compared to the amount effort it takes to drive the billy goats.
how tall are you/whats your weight? and what size jeffs did you get?
unless you are an incredibly aggressive directional skier and are dropping cliffs bigger than your average joe, you probably made the right decision going with the jeff.
EPfanboyI got 186cm and im 5’10 and 55kg and yea they seem perfect for naturals

EPfanboyIm 5’10 55kgs and i got size 186 Jeff's, and i think they will be perfect
Blameablenewt.... was 55kg a typo? I’m 5’10” but 155 lbs... weighing around 120 lbs seems actually impossible, or maybe I’m just learning I’m a fatty.
Also looking at the 108s, but I’ve only considered the 176 or 181, am I fat and dumb?

soupcanShorter fatter bastard reporting (5’7” 165lbs). Go atleast 181. They are rocker tf out. Still pretty pivoty in the tight stuff but it will be more substantial for giviner the biscuit.
EPfanboyNo hahaha i just weigh 55kgs with all my ski gear on, thats not fat ik alot of people around that weight and similar height. I would say go 181 or up i just went 186 because i like a longer ski and am still growing
BlameablenewtHell yeah man, thanks for the insight!! Have a great season my guy.
Foxtrotx1I went to a boot fitter in Flagstaff AZ who said he won't buy ON3P because they break too easy.
To be fair, he did magic with my boots.

Paul.5’7” on a good day and 150ish here. I ski a 176 magnus in the park and a 181 jeffrey everywhere else. At 5’10” Id say go 181 for sure unless you are used to a way shorter ski. Maybe consider the 186 if you like em long.
OP I think you made a good choice, especially if you plan on doing any spins/switch skiing. I love jumping off things on my Jeffs
