ok heres the deal im 6' 160 looking at 189 made'n or 188 JP. Will b for pow as well as big mtn stuff like chutes,open areas,bowls,BC, NO park at all,rock drops... And groomers to get to the cafe and to the deep stuff. Which will be better?

Im gonna try demo but there a high chance that it may not be possible.

Cheers.

The JP vs. Julien is honestly like no other ski ive ever been on. It is so fucken light. I can pop so high on them its nucking futz. Mount -2, as said above, and youll be laughin. The ski switches from pow to park in a heartbeat. They are so light even at a 189 or whatever it is too easy to throw this ski around. By far the greatest all one quiver ski ever made. The maden's are great as well but Armada has been bang on making amazing skis this season. Try out the AnTs if you get a chance. It is such a thick burly stick that even if you hit a rock the rock will shatter and your ski will be fine. I have rode the dumbest fucken lines with my buddys with there stuff ending up in the garbage and all I had was a base scratch. These skis will outlive me.

Are the JPs a decent all-mountain ski? Or are they too powder/backcountry jib specific? For me its between the JPs and BCs.

thats what i've been deciding. I got mixed views. but most people who skied it seemed to think it was a pretty good all mtn ski as long as ur not on groomed and ice. But with a ski like this who cares. bomb the shitty groomers and get the lift back up to the good stuff.

I think lots of people who havent skied it assume its shit for all mtn as it doesnt have as much sidecut as some skis.

Im getting it! cant wait.
