Body:
6'0"
185lbs

Skiing type:

I love skiing off the trails and in the trees, hitting little side hits on the groomers, as well as occasionally throwing some 3s and 5s on small to medium size kickers in the park. I'm not to much of super hard charger or rail guy anymore.

My last pair of skis were the Jskis allplay 184 and they were fun, but I'm looking to try something else.

Right now I'm the process of relocating, but its looking like I will be skiing in the north-east again.

I'm coming back into the sport after a about a year and half hiatus (thanks to an injury, relocating for a job, and other life shit), so I'm a bit out of the loop. any help would be much appreciated.

You might be a fan of ON3P jeffereys, in 96 or 102. Also vokl revolts sound good depending on what width you want

I just checked out the Jefferys and they look pretty sick. What would be the differences between the 96 and 102 and also, what would be the ideal length? 181 or the 186. I've never skied anything bigger than a 184 and I would be worried that the 186 would be a bit cumbersome in the tightly packed northeast trees, but perhaps I'm wrong.

96 vs 102 is pretty much just a matter of the 96 is a better carver while 102 is better in powder. But still pretty similar. I would go 181 for tree skiing
