Jeff 110s or Mango 110s?

Looking for an all mountain park ski. I'm just doing park at my home resort but need something all mountain that can handle powder. I don't care about edge hold at all. I have honey badgers so I do not need narrower skis, so that's why I am looking at the 110s.

I was about to pull the trigger on the jeffs 110s, but I heard that the mangos have a center mount point which seems great. Does anyone know what the deal is with the mangos? I rather a center mount so I'm unsure right now.

Also what length should I be going for?

I'm 125 lb, 5'9, type III skier, PNW sking.

center mounting 110s that you are buying with powder specifically in mind is a huge blunder imo

So would the Jeff 110s mounting point be better? The thing is realistically I'll mainly be doing park, I just need something that can survive for pow days. How bad would center mount 110s be? I wouldn't center mount jeffs because it goes against the geometry, but the new mangos that have 0 specs other than this thread seem like a center mounted jeff.

Worth calling them and asking ab the mount point, they’re always stoked to help out. The Jeff is probably the most versatile ski out there right now. People mount +2 per @iggyskier s recommendation and it’s a killer park ski, but it also skis everything else well too. Have never skied the mango obviously so I can’t attest to it but it seems very geared towards freestyle in big terrain and pow. Center mount in pow never skis as well as it could but it’s not the worst thing either as long as you don’t plan on driving your skis too hard.

ya i mean most of the suggested freestyle mount points on skis that are a little fatter and freestyle oriented are b/w like 1.5cm to 3cm behind center from what ive seen. not crazy back but it makes a big difference for float in deeper snow.

it comes down to how much youre actually going to be skiing powder i guess. only you know what you actually want the ski to be accomplishing. I also dont know what PNW snow is like so maybe dont listen to me at all XD

anything about the mangos will be speculative.

Sounds like you want a park ski first and a pow ski second though. I'd get the mangos if you want a center mount. You'll have more fun more often (cause you want to mainly ski park and have a center mount) and when it dumps, a 110 will be decent in pow and let you "survive". You're likely to have more park days than pow days so optimize for what you'll be doing more often.
