The season is coming up on us here in Norway and I need new skis.
I am 179 cm tall (aprox 5'10")
I weigh about 70 kg (154 lbs)

The skis im looking at is; Armada JJ 185 and Line SFB 184
I want a one ski quiver.
I ski almost all sorts of snow(Prefer powder). My skill level is between medium and good.
I like to go fast and make quick turns.

I need to make up my mind today, so the skis dont get caught up in the mail til after christmas!
+k for good answers

I would get the JJs for everything but park, they're a 5 point ski so they can shred the pow whilst they're still able to make nice turns on the groomers, playful with a low swing weight these skis are just a fun ski to ski. To be honest either would be great skis for you

I allways find freeskier magazine's buyers guide helpfull, here's what they had to say regarding the JJ:

- "versatile is the word all of our testers used to describe this year's JJ. It's the one ski for the powder hungry. The five-dimentional ski's rockered tip (136mm at the widest point) and tail (133mm at the widest point) make for easy floatation, while positive camber underfoot and tapered tail allow for suprisingly smooth, engaged edge controll when and where you need it. We may live for smeary pow days, but we still have to face the reality of groomer or crud day, and the JJ adresses it all."

Thanks guys, Im getting the JJ's. We don't have any Moment dealers here in Norway that i know of, so if I were to order from them I wouldn't recieve them before January.
