Ok currently i have a pair of 185 07/08 Steez's and a pair of 193 07/08 EHP's. I now have the option of selling my steez's and in turn buying a new pair of pow/all mountain/non-charging day skis. I am interested in this years 185 jj's but want to know if it's worth selling my steez's which are great and picking up a pair of jj's. In addition iv'e allways wanted a pair of semi-rockered skis such as the jj's but have never really pulled the trigger. So overall i'd be using them as a booter/pillow/groomer fun ski and replacing my steez's, is it worth it? Also any info from those how have ridden them would be greatly appreciated.

i would say the the jj's are more a pow ski than the steeze's. I would just keep what you have

there was only one review on here and then the product video on the site. i ordered a pair of the 185's alittle over 2 weeks ago after i went and took a look at some. they look reeaaall sick. theres a tone of camber under foot and its really stiff underfoot/the running surface. and towards the ends they get substantialy softer. they'll charge anything from the looks of it and will be really fun to play around on. thats why im gettin some.

did you find they measured out longer than 185, how tall were they on you, and how much running surface/amount of rocker

id sell the ehps and get the jjs, but thats just me. i dont like a super stiff charging ski like the ehps tho. jjs are dope, real dope. theres more rocker in the tip and tail than i expected with a fair amount of chamber underfoot.

Keep what you have... I used the steeze last season for my pow/2day old chop ski.. and it was one of the best skis i've ever used for that. Had to ditch them for $$ reasons, but they are SICKTASTIC.

im 5'11" and they were like a cenimeter over my head, they probly have a solid 130-140 cm of running surface. and the rocker on it looks like its enought to give mad float and keeps those tips up but not too much that you loose the versatility. i was in the same place as you, but as soon as i got to take a look at them for myself, i ordered them like 2 hours later.

heres a picture that was in another thread
