should I get the Jeffrey 110 or wide plus for next year? I’m 18, 6’0”, 175 lbs. I love freestyle skiing (skier Dan, topher) and traditional park skiing, but I’ll be going to montana state, and hitting Bridger bowl a lot. There’s a lot of all mountain terrain and some sidecountry there, and like one terrain park I think. I’m looking for a ski that I can tour on, bust resort crud, do decent in powder, and of course park. Which ski would you guys recommend? Thanks :D

I had Vishnu Wets back in my Freshman year at MSU but I went to Big Sky. I found that the snow was light enough in Montana that I could get around just fine on 'em until I hit those 18+ inch spots (or days) and had to do a lil' bit of leaning back.
I've since purchased the "regular" Vishnu Wides and found them to be extremely versatile, both in the lighter snow and heavy concrete, but still a weapon in the park.
Biased due to ~6 seasons on Vishnu skis but they're also cheaper

The jeffery will probably ski all mountain, powder, and crud better but the Wide plus will most likely ski park better. The wide plus will be ALOT lighter also. Both great skis. You would have a ton of fun on either.

These are really different skis, but Jeff 102 will be a great daily at bridger, it’s what I use. You don’t need much else with the jefferey shape profile

Is that bad? I like stability on bumps/steeps, and durability, will the wides deliver on those fronts?

For stability and durability, weight is absolutely your friend.

This. The Jeffery will be much more stable and in my opinion fun at bridger bowl but Collin kid rips on wides massive lines which is fucked but proves it can be done.
