CatdickBojanglesI’ve got Jeffrey 98s and 108s I’ve wanted a pair of bacons for awhile just for that turn radius ripped straight from the Sakana. But I’ve been considering replacing the 108s with a custom soft 102 or 110.
I have and enjoy my bacons and this is sort of what's kept me off some of the on3ps. The turn radius is just so good on the bacons. I really want to try some of the Seasons. I'm a east coast boy, so I'm super into having like a 16m turn radius. But considering where they're from and what the skis are made for, I get why Jeffs aren't super tight sidecut. When I go out west it's like wow, you actually have the room to use a turn radius that isn't like 16m.
Once again I am trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on another pair of OHNEPS.
Currently ski the 2019 Wrenegade 114 in a 184cm, and Jeffrey 114 in a 181cm. Wrens are alpine only, Jeffs are mounted with inserts for both alpine and tele, and whatever width of Woodsman I buy would be also get inserts for alpine and tele. Despite being a very directional skier I deeply adore my Jeffries, they are the main squeeze, and still thoroughly enjoy the Wren when I'm feeling like I want to charge.
I can't decide between the Woodsman 96, 102, and 108. Seems like mostly everyone is trending towards skis in the 106-110mm range as daily drivers at Bridger these days (whereas the trend 5 years ago seemed to be everyone on 112mm+ underfoot every day), I still intend to ski my Jeffs and Wrens when we get snow, but it's been a struggle when 95% of my ski days are in the hardpack to absolute shitfuck range, so I want something narrower. How do I decide between the 96 and 102, or do I just get the 108 and get rid of my Jeffs and Wrens and join the one ski quiver club.

Get the 96 or 102, depending on how much your knees hurt. Go 102 if no pain ever, 96 if you occasionally feel pain. Or get Jeff 100s and Woodsman 108, sell the Jeff 114s to me on a lend-lease deal ;)

Lol I think you would be much better suited getting yourself a new pair rather than me selling you a pair of 10 year old skis with a shitload of screw holes in them and trashed topsheets. I plan on skiing those until they are unskiable anyway, which should hopefully be another 10 seasons. But hey, if you wanna give 'em a rip for a day at Bridger sometime and have a BSL somewhere close to 315mm hit me up.

I'd get on the 96 for pure shitfuck conditions. I've been on the wide trend historically and have narrowed it down - daresay I actually enjoy skiing on shitty days a lot more now.
Dont sell the Wrens and Jeffs if you still like em. I tried to retire a set of Wren 108's and took em down from the wall and remounted them - still too much fun.
Piggybacking that post as well. I ride Kartel108s, Was riding my woodsman 116s daily but tore out a binding, have been on my Woodsman 108s w/ kingpins recently and also trying to pull the trigger on some new skis but can't decide what. Woody 110s or a Jeffery 116? The 108s have been unreal so far with the spring storms in Utah. Had some of the best turns ever on them. The 110 looks nice

How are the 96's gonna handle in fresh snow, do all widths share the same rocker profile or do the 96's have more effective edge? We have been having a lot of weird weather cycles that end up with pow on ice, and that end's up with doing a lot of pocket hunting trying to find areas of enough wind deposited snow that gets you above the ice, but still requires a lot of edge hold on ice when you are searching for those zones, so the Jeffs and Wrens can be a bit unruly on the ice but the extra float is welcome when I find those pockets. I do love skiing bumps and the narrower choice seems to make sense there too, but I'd also have to go custom to get the 96 (not that I haven't been considering customs anyway) and would be more expensive.
TBH the main reason I want another pair of ON3P's is durability, but I'm also considering the 4FRNT MSP 99 and Moment Commander 98, and Wildcat 101 to be my low tide ski. Blister seemed to love how versatile and agreeable the MSP 99 was and I've always been interested in Moment's offerings, but my biggest consideration when buying a ski is durability so It's hard to stray from ON3P since they have really proven themselves with the abuse I've dished out to my Jeffs and Wrens, but I am also craving some variety and the Woodsman is just a variation of skis that I already know (but love to ski)

Just my experience but the jeffereys 102 are a perfect daily driver at bridger.
I used those most days and then some reckoner 112s for anything deeper but tbh that extra width only helped just a bit. Any stashes along the ridge and high T I could still ski through and charged right through the choppy stuff.
I remember taking the 102s to targhee after that crazy 40”-50” storm cycle they had, and Still had crazy float around the right side of the mountain.

MSP99s fuck, I ski my pair when ever it’s icy asf and I’m coaching, or when I’m skiing with my dad and sister. They hold an edge on almost anything. Have a nice turn radius too, not too tight. Felt very good putting my hip into the hill. Don’t chatter even here on the ice coast with concrete courderoy and marble everywhere.

I dd Jeff 102’s in Colorado. It’s fine 99.9 percent of the time. I’ve really come to the conclusion that everyone is on unnecessarily wide skis.
