Im looking for a new pow ski and Ive narrowed it down to these two. Which one would be better for pow skiing and BC jumps?

Um, maybe you should consider Bacons instead.
Cuz JP vs Juliens are 178 and 188 and Bacons are 182. A bit more compared, instead of 172's and 178 or 188.

Im 5'9 5'10 area and 135 pounds. Most of the time Ill just be riding like between a half foot to two feet of powder and doing alot of backcountry jumps. I like skiing fast in powder like straightlining and stuff but also need a ski with good response.

JP's don't straightline as good as ANTs, but lizzies don't straightline as good as JPs. The ANTs would prolly own you, so go with JPs.

I agree... JP's. But becareful what binding you mount up.. b/c they are really soft and a lot of people pull em out. I wouldn't recommend a pivot.

JP's and mount them 89 from tail, that is where all Armada guys ride 'em and it's working for me. "omg, omg you mean tanner rides at 89 from tail?" yes.

you could get bacons, if you mount them closer to true center then they arent gonna feel big at all and that way you can have really good float, plus bacons arent that heavy anyway. but jp's would be awesome too, elizabeths are mabye too short

Just so you know... a 178 armada JP vs Julien is gonna be almost identical to a 182 bacon in length. why? b/c the companies measure their skis differently. So if you say the bacon is too long for you the Jp will also be too long.

Get the elizabeth.
