JJs vs. New Lifes

Anyone ridden both these skis and care to share what they think? I have JJs now and am trying to decide if I should stick with them or get a pair of New Lifes next season.  I ski at Whistler/ Baker and love shredding pow/pillow/trees/drops and buttering around all over the hill. Was thinking the New Lifes might be a lil' more pow-specific and fun for what I like to do. That being said, it's my 2nd season on JJs and I've been really happy with them as my only ski. Thoughts?

yoo, im in the same situation. live in vancouver now, and in whis for a couple moths this season. season and a bit on my JJs and fucking love them. id just like something more buttery and a little wider. so im looking at the new lifes and 189 hellbents. ive demoed the new lifes on a slushy day in the park up grouse and they were retartedly fun. pretty sure im gonna grab a pair next year if not bents.

New lifes are rediculously playfull but stiff enough that you can still charge on them.. i have never heard of anyone not liking them!

its hard to compare the two.

i would rather compare the jjs to the atomic bentchetlers.

but yea if it has to be one of these two skis, i would get the new life. so light and responsive.
and i didnt met anybody who didnt lovem.

peace
