I have been looking at alot of powder skis lately and have narrowed down my choices to these three skis, the blogs, chettys and jjs. Not worried too much about perfomance on hardpack except to get back to the lift ocasionaly. If anyone out there has something to say about either of these skis and how they perform off drops, powder jumps etc. it would help alot.

thanks

They are all great skis. You will be happy with any of them, so if you cant try them out, nevermind just guess.

JJ's just as fat as the schettlers but with a little better manors on the groomers.
Blogs a lil more of an all mountain ski but will still perform well in the pow.
Schettlers possibly the more 'playfull' pow ski if thats what you want.

this is just false...
Bentchetlers are a solid 8 mm wider than JJs.

having skied both JJs and Bents, i have to say, i think i like the bents more. they are super similar skis, but the bentchetlers seemed to do better on hardpack, and seamlessly transition into powder, which the JJs did, but didnt quite rip hardpack like my Bentchetlers do.

plus i like a ski with more tip, and the JJs have a very flat tip; the rocker just flows right into the almost nonexistent tip. on the bentchetlers, there is just a little bit more tip rise.

you can't really go wrong though, they are all amazing skis.

well if ur not really concerned about the skis performance on hardpack, then id say you should get a ski that is a pure powder ski. if u prefer a surfier playful pure pow ski, get the EP pro or the hellbent. if u prefer drops and going fast you should look into the surface new life. its stiffer than the two above so you can charge harder!
another ski which seemed to have gotten only positive feedback is the ON3P caylor. i have not yet skid them but everyone is uber stoked on them.

I strongly advise you to check Sage's segment in Light The Wick.. the guy does it all on Bentchetlers.. including charging!

Your advice is sound though, at least you elaborate your suggestions.  But seriously Im gonna pass out if I see one more thread where the OP narrowed the options down to 3 skis and some guy replies giving an On3p model name without any elaboration. Serenity now!
