You will probably get more serious answers in gear talk. But, I have JJs and love them. They are stiff enough to charge big lines but still playful and you can still carve pretty well on groomers. Great ski IMO

Hey dude,
I own a pair of last years JJ's- they are really cool and i love them. Coming from New Zealand I bought them thinking that they have a really good edge and would hold on the ice and hardpack that we get. Ive skied lots of pow days with them and they are stable and solid as a rock, BUT i do not reccommend them for hardpack, soft groomers maybe. I bought a pair of ARVs for the hardpack so the jjs only come out on pow days but nevertheless i still love them in the pow.

I have halos in 176 and they are the shit.
Stiff enough for confident jumping, but playful with the rocker.
I've only had them for a few weeks but the durability seems pretty bomber from what i've heard. Wish they didn't chip as much, but that happens with pretty much all skis
hop on them, you won't regret it
