The skis are pretty much the same price, but so far, all of the Armada pros are riding the JPs. For sking Tahoe powder, the thick shit, what would you recon out of the two.

JP vs. Julian = backcountry booters

ANT = stiff big mountain stick.

they are both amazingly light for their size, but pretty different skis. the ANTs are stiff as fuck and the jp vs. juliens are rather soft. the ANTs are more for charging big lines, and the minimal sidecut doesn't carve very well. it all really depends on what you want to be doing with them.

How much do you weigh bro? That's probably the biggest determining factor in picking between these skis. Of course Tanner's going to ski the smaller of the two he ways a buck and some change.

well like others have said the jp is pretty soft and has very little sidecut so is primarily for BC booters and deep pow pow. the ANT is more for charging big mtn lines. its a ski for people who simply like to bomb it in the big mtn. its alot stiffer than jp's and aimed more at big mtn lines as opposed to BC booters. i have heard the JP is not really any good at anything but what its designed for. not sure about the ANT as of yet.

First of all you tool, the only people who said no to using hella were from either SoCal or CO, so get your facts straight. Also, I lived in SoCal for 6 years and no one ever said 'hella' so I don't know where you are in CA, but saying 'hella' is hella-ghey.

I have heard it and I lived in San Diego 4 years ago. Very few people down there said it...must just be you 'special' inland Cali kids. Maybe you are from Barstow or Bakersfield or someplace cool like that.

Either way, hella is ghey.

Whoa whoa whoa. Everything else hella-related notwithstanding, I think we can all agree that only one person is allowed to call the other a tool. Luke used it first, get your own word Nick.

That was a low blow...I apologize. I would never wish that upon anyone.

It is just a word, but my point was, all my buddy's from Vegas used to say hella and I just found it to be the worst word ever.
