Anyone here on the 191 J110s and mount them behind recommended? I’m 6’4” 205 lbs looking to replace my Enforcer 104 Free’s with a similar 102-110 waist ski. Honestly, I love everything about the E104’s EXCEPT they get a little sketchy when charging at Mach 10. I’m looking for something comparable with less of a speed limit. I reached out to ON3P to see if the Woodsman or the Jeffrey would match what I’m looking for and they said the 191 Jeffrey 110 mounted -2 behind the line would be what they recommend. Does anyone else have their J110 mounted behind the line? Does the J110 have a speed limit? I’ve also seen some folks on here rave about the 192 M-Free 108’s… I’m wondering if a dude my size would find the speed limit on these as well? I’m looking for that unicorn ski (which the Enforcer 104 ALMOST is) that I can charge as hard as I want, but is also nimble and playful when it’s a chill day skiing with my wife. I’m not doing any switch skiing or park riding anymore, and this will be my daily driver West Coast ski. This will be the middle ski in my quiver, in between some Brahma no-snow skis and some fatty pow skis.

In my experience no Jeff matches the mf108 speed limit. Woodsman maybe?
You are right, I would've been rich if I had invested these sums in BitCoin instead of skis. Perhaps a bit less satisfied with my quiver and life in general, but def richer.

(some of the lenghts might be off and skis might have been forgotten - these were mostly from my memory alone -)
So perhaps not only info gained from reading about stuff online.
The point I am trying to make is not that I am kewl since I've owned all these skis, but that I am very aggressive in trying to learn something (quiver perfection), and that I most of the time go too far in said pursuit
And yes, my executive functions are not great some/most of the time. And clearly I have been single throughout this period in time.
I might be daft, but asking iggy "why" seem to me to be pretty far from internet echo chamber knowledge. I know, I know - email!![]()

Thanks!
You didn't mount them with Pivots though, so no care
And for reference, I preferred first gen wood116 -1 with pivots (tried them +.5 witg pivots, on the line with Shifts), 108s on the line (tried +.5 (messed up the mount) pivots, on the line shifts and -1 pivots). I've only skied current gen and wood 96 first gen on the line, all with pivots.
You might be able to answer my question! In your experience, what would have the highest speed limit between a 191 Jeffrey 110, a 192 Woodsman 110 or a 192 M-Free 108? Which of those is more playful and nimble than the others at slower speeds? I’m trying to find something similar to my 191 Enforcer 104 Free’s, but with a higher speed limit.
2016 Blizzard Brahma w/ Griffons - 187
2017 Moment Bibby Pro w/ STH2 16s - 190
2019 Nordica Enforcer 104 Free w/ STH2 16s - 190
2019 Line Sick Day 104 w/ Shifts - 186
Would you describe yourself as “wound a little tight” and/or “ on the spectrum”?
That’s like 75 skis in the last 5-7 years, even if you skied 100 days a season it’s less than a week on each pair. I ski a fair amount usually 70+ days lift served with a 10-20 days touring and have had less than ten skis in use over the last 7 years. You’re not even giving skis enough time to adapt to their flavor.

yes. I am rich in experience, poor in crypto!
I have not ridden either longer ON3P, but 192 M-Free 108s haul if you want them to. Not like a directional charger haul, bbut they want yu to go as fast as you can, all the time, being playful. I've labeled the 192 as the best ski ever in its segment - take it for what is worth, just an opinion.
But then again I did not find either Kartels or Woodsmans to lack for pace, it more has to do with how you like to drive your skis and how active / dynamic you want to be. Dynastars are better on groomers, ON3Ps have more float.
Snicker. These observations would be even funnier if you'd know what I used to do and what I am currently in training to qualify as
I guess it is all relative, but one do not need a ton of time on a ski to figure it out, especially when one can bring it out across conditions.
And to be honest, the only skis from ON3P I regret selling before getting them across more conditions are the wren96s x2, and that I did not try with pivots -> kartel116s - and BG108tours, they were truly awesome, like fantastic. I have enough time of the rest of them to know how they ski. I spend a lot of time learning how to ski better by figuring out how to ski different skis in different conditions. That is actually one of the main drivers for gaining insights from reviews online - to short circuit my process.
And keep in mind, my objective is not to figure out how I can find how to ski each ski the best and keep it, but to figure out what brings forth the strengths/weaknesses in a specific design and contrast that to how I know that I prefer to ski. Aka, find the best ski for how I like to ski.
I learn a lot - ALOT - through this approach, it has def made me a (way) better skier. Aka poor in crypto, but rich in experiences.
That might but me on several spectrums, be it from manchild to too involved in seemingly trivial matters. We all have our outlets.

Classic TRGs. Love it.
Hang in there, Kid.
I’m curious about this, too, regarding specifically Pivots. But not related to ON3s.
I have a stupid Baron demo on one of my skis that is on the line. I love the way it skis. A new Pivot mount moves me -1 or +2.
General consensus around here is +2. But going from a gigantic demo plate to a short Pivot makes me believe I’ll probably end up with a lot more tail.
Of course, I’ll demo first. Ha. IT'S A FUCKING DEMO BINDING!
But… no line will feel the same between these two bindings.
Also— I used to give KC, Bandit, Kid, et al. shit for never “getting to know their skis.”
But then I realized that every ski I’ve been on has felt intuitive from day 1. They do ski better with 10 days on them. But that’s just me learning their quirks and adjusting my stance rather than the ski’s general character. Of course I become a superstar on any pair of skis after day 100, but how pigeon-holed is that?
Hell, I didn’t even know how to slarve until I got on a 5-point. Then that slarving skill transferred over to my groomer zoomers. Completely changed my skill set and style. That stupid-ass shape made me want to start racing gates again... because it taught me how to drive a ski's base.
Some of us are idiots. We need to be punched in the face. We need to ski a lot.
From this point onward, it is no longer acceptable to say that anyone else is skiing too much.

I’m feeling like kid kapow and aever should have a podcast. I would listen.

The 22 has more tip/tail taper and a little rounder flex. I have owned both. I do like the 22 better, but I also really liked the older version. Like you I loved my 13 BC when it was soft. But when Mt Hood starts doing Mt Hood things on "powder" days it folded like a wet napkin.If you can get a good deal on the 116 I would not hesitate.
