Which do you like better?  I've never skied the JJ.   Skied the obsethed and ruled the crud and softies, ski seemed a bit soft though...whats the flex like on the JJ??

I have a pair of the JJ's and they are by far my favorite. My sisters fiancee rides the obsethed, and I have taken them out few times. You can def rip hard o the k2's and attack any big lines. However, in pow pow I have foudn the JJ's easier to control. Hell it's ike skiing on butter. I would go with the JJ's, but if I had enough money I would also buy the Obsethed for my quiver. Both really legit skis.

^^^ Awesome thanks for the input, like I said I skied the obsethed and was dope in all the softies, but never really skied it on the hardpack, and based on its softness just hand-flexing the ski concerns me a bit for when shit hardens up ya know, Ive also read the JJ is even softer than the obsethed

the  jj has the elf shoe technology which is designed to make it ski very well on groomer too (compared to most rockered skis). I have heard nothing but good about the way that it handles hardpack and crud

The jj rules everything! I am a proud owner and they ski crud, hardpack, pow, everything amazingly well! The flex is medium. Maybe just cause im a little small but it is stiffer than the obsethed!
