Does anyone know if there were any improvements made to the 07 JP vs Julien. Or are they basically the 06 model with new graphics? (I know the 07's come in 178 and 188 and that's new, but I mean any changes, besides the new size) I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to get 07's or to look for some 06's, what do you think?

Hey jon that's not armada'a site, it's www.armadaskis.com, and I have checked it, and it doesn't talk about specific differences between the 06 and 07 skis.

The only thing www.armadaskis.com says is "Little has changed with this model, due to the overwhelming response from Armada team riders, dealers, and customers" and they talk about the new 178 size. So it seems to me like if you're getting the 188's just get last years, what do you guys think?

I would most definately get the JPS. They're a good deal and nobody likes to wait.

Coordy I'm in exactly the same boat. I've got old scratches for park, and I'm looking for pow skis. I think I'm going with last years JP vs Julien. yeah, $300ish for a sweet pair of skis, can't beat it.

same ski and get 06. looks better anyway. the only reason to get the 07 is if you need the 178

practly the same ski, the only difference is that the 188 isnt actually a 188. In reality its a 191, i know its not a big deal but its a pretty big joke if you kknow the right people ot if you know the reps

what? well im pretty sure mine measure up to 188. isnt that why they changed it. They used to say its 191 but then realized it was only 188 so now they call it that...
