hey i was looking at the armada JJ and was wondering if they the side cut they have will affect the turning or not. also are they easy to turn? i was also looking at the obsethed. i know the JJ will be a better pow ski but will it turn as well as the obsethed.

Turn as well in the powder or on some sort of groomed run?

jj's are very easy too turn on groomers. Just as good as seths from my experiences.

The JJ's are considerably lighter than the Obsethed. The only thing I really don't like about the JJ's is the turn radius, at around 15m they like to turn...a lot.

so the turn radius for the JJ is more of a bombing ski with big long swooping turns?

More of the opposite. They like fast turns at shorter lengths, begging you to turn at speed on groomers. Not really for going straight.

the jj's do like to turn, if your going fast they want to make quicker turns. but they are sooo fun. they are very light. and this ski completely kills powder/crud. it is even fun in the park.
get this ski, or you will probably regret it.
