Key differences from Woodsman’s vs Jefferey’s ?

Factory finds looking too good right now, thinking about getting either of these. I already have Jefferey’s, but intrigued by the woodsman.

Are they chargier? If so how much, I never hated skiing the Jefferey’s, but some days I didn’t need a near center mounted ski and something more traditional would be nice.

Also curious how the woodsman are to bibbys as well. From what I’ve seen it would go Woodsman -> Bibbys -> Jefferey’s from least to most playful.

this is extremely readily available information but ya the woodsman’s are much chargier and somewhat directional

I've been riding Jeffs for 4 years and my new woodsmans come in today. So in about a week I can give you a review lol
Those factory finds are going fast though. I hesitated for 10 hours and lost my chance for the ski i wanted. I think you should just buy it and resell later if you change your mind

Ha this is a good take. If you already have the Jeffs, grab the Woodsman and give it a go. Think more freeride than freestyle with the Woodsman. Yet, it seems people are still hitting 3s and landing switch on the Woodsman..which makes sense since its still an ON3P ski.

It’s so tempting for sure, are they usually this low? Haven’t looked in a while but thought factory finds were more than 600?

Lemme know what you think when you get them.

This is pretty standard. A few years ago they were $500, but inflation and the brand blowing up put an end to that

Out of interest was it the Woodsman 100 181, in black and yellow you were looking at?

It was the Woodsman 108 186 in Cat Camo and Cat Camo bases
I would have jumped on it immediately, but I'd already ordered normal a normal woodsman and wanted to make sure I could return them first.
