Replying to Feedback on JP vs. Juliens/Alternatives

So Ive been looking into another ski for my quiver, something that will float in powder and blast through the crud without being too heavy. Ill be using this ski for sidecountry/short tours and the JJs seem to fit the ticket. Anyways I was just wondering what you guys thought of its performance on pow, groomer, and crud plus its weight.

If you have any alternatives that would offer the same kind of performance id love to hear them. This is a touring setup so id rather you didnt suggest I buy hellbents, but at the same time it hardly needs to be ultralight for my purposes.

Thanks NS~
