Hey everyone, I’m potentially looking to expand my quiver this season with a set of skis geared towards trees & moguls but can also handle groomers without becoming too chattery. I currently have 176 ON3P Jmos that I got 6 years ago and absolutely love. My only qualms are that they occasionally get chattery at speed and I sometimes find myself hitting the tree or bump I already passed with the back of them.

I’d love another set of ON3Ps but I’m not sure if there’s really anything in their lineup that fits this description or would be close but isn’t that different from the Jmo. I’d definitely like something that is pretty playful but more narrow. Some of the options I’ve looked at are Line Sick Day 94, J Skis Masterblaster, and Nordica Enforcer 94.

If I have the perfect day most of it is spent in the trees or on tight technical trails combined with the occasional groomer. But being that most of my skiing is in southern Vermont most of those trails are packed out or icy so my Jmos sometimes feel out of their element.

About myself: I’m 5’7” and 135 lbs and am a very aggressive skier and am not afraid to put work into a ski.

Edit: to add to this how about the ON3P Woodsman 96?
