Thinking about buying a pair of magic js in 190s for when I ski out west. My question is would this be a good powder ski but could still handle soft groomers? I normally ski bowls and cliffs out west I'm 5ft 10in and 140lbs.
I'm currently on jj 2.0s in 185s and love them but I wanted something chargier so is the magic j a good choice?

id 100% stay with the jjs. the magics are basically a powder specific ski. the jjs on the other hand can handle almost anything you thrown at them.

If you're looking to stay in the Armada Deepest series I'd think the Norwalk is going to be the chargier out of that selection. The Invictus 108 is worth a look as well if you don't mind a directional ski.

Thanks for the suggestion I looked into Both but I like more of a twin tip ski and I heard the magic j is stiffer than the jj

Think I'm going with the magic js thanks for the suggestion I love the jjs but I need a stiffer platform and i wanted a little wider it seems the arv 116 is still going to be similar to the jjs flex

ARV 116 is def stiffer than the jj... and for the record: magic j is my favorite ski, I ski it in the park and everywhere on the mtn but most people say its too wide for park and groomers
