sorry to bring it back to the JJ's but...   an opinion on the JJ Armada's (even the 2009 cuz I know they haven't changed).   Last year I skied the Salomon Dumonts, they broke.   I found I was trying to ride a little bit more powder and they were balls (yes I know they're a park ski).   I want something like the Dumonts in the sense I want to be able to still hit jumps with them, no not monster hits, just screwing around while riding a groomer back to the chair, but that kills it in the trees with powder.   Are they JJ's too much ski for that or should I consider going with something like the Line Prophets 100 (or if I had any faith left, the Salomon Shogun) and getting the bindings set back?

thanks.

I bought the 185 JJ with Schizos with duke brakes for my 14 year old son. They have like a 14 turn radius so ya they ski sort for sure! My buddy was on the JJ all last year with demos on and he said his wife could ski them like nothing and she has never been on a ski over 160 before. He called Armada yesterday about his order and they arnt making any more 175 this year. They have been selling 10-1 185,s so if you want the 175 ya better get them while you can!! There doing another big last run of the 185,s now.

My buddy said on soft groomers that he can rail the 185 JJ,s!! Thats amazzing but not to surpriseing to me because i was on some Fisher Prophetes {SP} last year well over 100 waist and they railed also. BTW I loved those skis just bomber in anything! I cant wait to steel my sons JJ,s once and a while when he,s at school. The schizo binding has cool features like for and aft +- 3cm and adjustable to a 360mm boot or so. Next best thing to a Demo binding but cooler. Ill let ya know how my son does on the JJ,s when it snows some more. I think were still a few weeks away?
