Ok well im looking for a pair of powder skis and am looking for some advise.

I am 6 foot and weigh 150 lbs  and my style kind of blends charging and slashing/surfing  im wanting a ski that will work in the backcountry in deep snow as well as something to just mess around on in the resort and park

im thinking about the hellbent, chopstick, ep pro and arg 

suggestions please

Armada JJ. The skis you've listed are a softer rocker than the JJ and won't be nearly as good out of the pow. If you think they'll be too stiff for you're weight, cowboy up and learn to ski harder

I love my jj's.  There so sick.  I was skiing them on ice the other day at this local lame ass mountain I went to.  They held really well until I really layed into a turn and BOOM, I had a yard sale.  Came right out of my binding. lol, it was fun though.  Anyway, go with he JJ, they float and are effertless.

the reason for most of them being soft skis is because i like the feel of the more buttery ride and i am looking for something fatter than the jj and have ridden it and really didnt like it very much

Have you considered the Bent Chetler? Same design aspects as JJ but a softer flex from what i've heard
