they have a really bombproof new topsheet, saw them yesterday. considering buying them, but how do u think theyll go for everyday whistler conditions. (soft snow, chopped, pow, park, groomers, small ice, big drops). cheers

Everyone I have ever talked to says hands down they are the one true do all ski.  I'm sure they'll be awesome. 

Hell, I'm looking to get a pair for patrol use here in Mammoth.

I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about the JJ, it sounds like the sickest ski on the market at the moment and i'm definitely getting a pair. I don't think you'll be disappointed in the slightest if you buy em

I love mine. Amazing ski all-around.

look in the review section, someone reviewed them this year. I have yet to put mine up, but I need to find some free time to, so I can just link it.

Just get them. You'll love them.

I'd say it's a perfect Whistler ski

Nope, not right...

Edges are still 1.7 for next years and the base is still the 50/50. The only thing that changes is the core from a Ultra Light to an Ultra Light/ Hybrid core and the new top sheet wich is a textured top that feels like corse grit sandpaper with out the grit to it.. Kinda cool but it doesn't hold stickers...

and the are a bad-ass ski. The only ski I ski now.. Even for groomers on days that its straight crud or coral.. a every-day go-to ski!

The JJ simply rips.  Tight turns or big mountain...um buy a pair..really.  I picked these skis up at the beginning of the season from the advice of trusted friends, the local shop and an Armada rep.  I was looking for a 1 ski quiver and could hardly believe that 115 under foot could really pull it off for all conditions, especially ice.  Let me tell you, they dominate in all conditions from pow, mank, crud and groomers.  The only place they dont "shine" is on the ice, but really, what fat ski really does and are you really going ski when there is no fresh snow.   The best ski I have ever skied and highly recommended.

I'm a 58 yr old telemark skier. I have these in a 185, mounted boot center over the mounting mark with Scarpa Ecos and Axl bindings. I'm in Utah. I use these skis for everything out here. They are just great in all conditions we see out west. Back east, probably a different story. I haven't tried them on alpine gear, but if you're thinking of getting them for telemark skiing, you'd be insane NOT to get them.
