Im trying to choose between next year's elizabeth's or JP VS Julien's. Im a little bit taller than the Elizabeths and they are 172. I heard that Armada sizes their skis differntly so would I be able to ski JP's?

jp's are pretty big for someone who weighs 145. i mean, depending upon your ability you might be ok, but you'd have to be a mighty good 145 pounder to rock the jp's.

Yea, Im a pretty good skier, I raced with Ski Club Vail for 4 years. As long as the JP's are flexy and soft, then I'll be good to go. The JP's are a really soft ski right?

next year there will be elizabeths in longer dimensions... up to 182 i thinks.

They are meant to be a 100 percent park ski.
