Hey guys I'm looking to buy a pair of 2012 Armada JJ's and was just wondering what were the thoughts on them? I plan on taking them all over the mountain and charging some deep pow with them.

Also I'm 6' and 185 lbs. I'm looking at buying the 195 cm but don't know if it's too long. I'd call myself an advanced/expert skier but i haven't heard anything about these skis before.

im 6' 155 and ride the 185. Love this ski in 6+ inches of snow. not a charging ski, but the thing pivots in tight trees, and handles decent sized drops so it suits me well for the most part. Its good on groomed runs, but lacks in hard crud and iced up conditions for sure. In terms of length, not sure what to tell ya. I personally think the JJ should be ridden a bit short, and I couldn't imagine myself riding it in any size past 185. Personal preference I guess though.

I'm 5'10" 170lbs ride the 177. I am lucky enough to get to try a bunch of different skis throughout the year and I love the jj more than any of what I've tried for how I like to ride. Smaller length makes them Super playful overall, quicker through tight lines but the ski is still stiff enough to feel sturdy when you open em up or drop something big. Never had any problems with flotation.
