Hey I'm looking for a new pow ski for next year and I'm really considering the armada magic j or moment night trains. I'm wondering if anyone has skied both of them and how they compare. I'm 5'4" and really an aggressive skier. I like to ski trees but also charge off sizable cliffs. Will also be wondering how they do spinning and flipping off jumps. Open for other ski suggestions. Thanks

I think you would be better off with the Armadas. You will be able to charge harder in them, and they will last a lot longer.

Another ski to consider is ON3P caylor. Blister has a review of it. Also a really good review on Evo.com.

Its a powder jib ski.

I don't own them and haven't ridden them but I would ask Iggyskier. (He runs ON3P). Also search bar will pull some threads up on them.

I looking to ski a variety of bc terrain, from mellow trees to steeper lines on one ski whilst still wanting that ski to be jibby and playful, the ON3P Caylor would be a really good choice for you. I skied the Caylors all of last season in Canada and I can honestly say they are the best twin rockered pow skis I have had on my feet to date. There is a 'to the point' review of the ON3P Caylors in my blog
