Jp v.s Julian in 178

Location= east coast, but frequent trips out west.

If i could just get some advice from people who know about the above skis or if you have tried them..thanks alot, happy thanksgiving!

the BC and seth fit the allountain catogoery best and the jps are very BCish...id say BC would be best cause its killer all over the mountain and still has a healthy waist for that pow...if ur looking for a really light ski get the JP...and i know nothing of the volkls

buy the jp's. I just got a pair, im 6 feet and about 195.
theyre 2 cm's back from center (true) and they are so amazing!
theyre lighter than my ar5's and i feel good about supporting my sport!
they track rad switch, and feel like you have a kids ski on, theyre so light it makes me sick!
