I'm thinking about getting a pair of JJs,

I'm 6ft1inch and weigh 60kg.

I've not skied a powder ski before and want a buttery surfy ski.
JJ good for this?

My park skis are 178cm Line Traveling Circus
And I have an old pair of Scott Punichers 185cm that I don't find big at all really.

If the JJ, what size?

So I'm close to the same size as you I'm 6'1" and weigh about 180. I personally think the jj is a pretty stiff ski in comparison to other ones out there. I like a surfy powder ski and the one I own is the Line mr pollard opus. It's super fun and surfy. The Mordecai is also super fun and surfy. Thats my quick 2 cent. Take it for what it worth.

i'm 6'2" 85kg, and ride the 195s every day. I find em pretty chargy and fast, not too buttery. If i were you and looking for a buttery ski, I'd try the 185s, or pettitors/opus's. beware tho jj's have a shit ton of tip/tail rocker so ski ~15cm shorter than the length
