Two foot steering as opposed to what?

Jeffrey 108’s FTW today. Snow was a bit all over the place, but there was good stuff to be found all over the mountain. Glad I opted for these and not my Jeffrey 118’s or Cease&Desist’s today. Not enough new snow. Maybe tomorrow.

These arrived today just in time for a 5-day corn cycle next week. 191BG Tour in a 50/50 layup coming in at 2015g/ski. My way of bringing my late, great ski partner, Yogi along.
Really enjoyed last years 191s, looking forward to seeing if there’s any noticeable(to me) differences with this year.

Got some woods 108’s coming. Hope to have an ON3P DD again!
Without playing 20 questions it is difficult to say for certain but I'd hazard a guess that it wasn't the nature of the ski design specifically.
I have skied the 184 and 189 Asyms a whole bunch and haven't found them to be that unusual to pilot compared to other skis.
There's a lot of things that can affect the feel of a ski (skill, mount position, length appropriate for size, delta, etc) though.
Got out on the Jeffrey 118’s today for a few laps. Man, these are so much fun in anything soft. Steamroll chop, check. Nimble thru the trees, check. Fun off the rollers in the park, check.

Welp. Added another 120+. Never been on a C&D but with the love it gets I’m sure I’ll enjoy them.

yeah, given that you are partial to the underfoot width.
That being said, the slightly softer shovels and stiffer tails do make the shape shine. I also find that the asym shape/tails works really well with their intended use, more so than with BGasyms.
To sumarize my take on them: I like the fatgoat C&Ds enough that I run both 184s and 189s in a resort quiver consisting of six pairs of skis - if partially for sentimental reasons. Go figure eh ;)
Slarve missiles. Stock 187 BG110. The ski I keep coming back to.
Which reminds me….there is a BG108 in the custom ski builder. No specs.
Anybody know?
I think everything should be the same as 118 except width and weight obviously. Have a buddy that custom built some (stock layup) so can report back with weight once they arrive.
