I am looking to get new pow skis this year and am looking at some of last years skis. If anyone has ridden the Line Opuses, Armada Magic Js, or the Icelantic Gypsy's it would be great if you could let me know how you like them.

I rode the magic j's for a season and I wish I got the opus's. Magic js are really heavy and not very maneuverable. Just didn't suit my riding style

Yeah, i'm really biased towards Icelantic, every ski of theirs i've ridden I love. I got to demo the Gypsy's a couple days last season and had a great time on them. Super bomber ski, really stiff and durable. If you go with them, you definitely won't regret it.

skied magic j's last season and loved them, obviously great it powder but was surprised how hard you could rip groomers in them. Don't have a bad thing to say about them.

I ride opuses and I must warn you - they are not a charging ski. With that said, they are probably the most fun ski i have ever skied, awesome for trees and bc jumps. Surprisingly well on groomers, too!

I have magic js and love them but just a tip if you do decide to buy them you can get the ones from two years ago for cheap and they didnt change a thing except mildly the graphic to this past year and this year the ski is essentially the same again
