Ive kinda already made a thread on this but was wondering for some feedback. Ive decided that im either going to purchase the rossignol s7 or armada JJ. Both would be in the 175, 176 length (im 5'6-5'7 and 140 lbs) I have a park ski so this is going to be strictly for off piste for trees, steeps, pillows, pow.

Since its my second ski for basically everything except park/groomers which areas will each ski (jj, s7) do better in. I need to use this ski to do some jr big mtn comps and everything else basically

i'll tell you, i own JJs and i love em. i think the jjs r wider in the tail (the 4th dimension) but the s7 r wider overall. pretty sure the jjs r lighter, theyre waaaay ligher than my chopsticks and THA 187s.

just so you know, with the 5 dimensions they ski "shorter"... where the contact point to flat ground is much shorter  than the actual length of the ski. with this in mind you could essentially go with the longer size because itll still carve like a shorter ski. the jjs r lighter so that might help u make up your mind

just research the two, compare the dimensions to what your used to and/or enjoy, find the cheaper of the two, read one of the million jj threads on here, etc etc

either way u'll have fun in pow
