I have narowed it down to either jjs or NTs, both seem really sick for me, i ski in the PNW, where pow isnt always the lightest and i mostly ski park around 80% of my season is in park, But i love getting out on good pow days. Im 5'11 145 and want the ski to shred in Deep pow, trees, and alot of hitting jumps and BC booters, also there will be some groomers from time to time getting from chair lift to chair lift, and also chargeing. +kkkk

both are very solid choices. they are both fairly nimble skis and one of the only differences is the camber underfoot in th e \jjs and not in NT. i think night trains might be funner in park but JJ are better allmountain. both are solid choices, its basically camber and a littleless rocker vs no camber and a bit more camber. I would say go for the better deal and better size for you, as both are very solid choices and are very similar solid skis.
hope that helps

I own JJs and i have a buddy who has night trains. i have skied his skis a few times and i honestly like the jjs way better, i feel like they hold there own way better on chopped up pow. The night trains bounce you around quite a bit but they are a blast in untouched pow. They both are great skis but have fun on what you choose!

I bought a pair at the beginning of this season and have loved them the whole time.
Because of the early taper, the smaller turning radius lets you carve on groomers (although this is present on the JJ too), they are EXTREMELY light, and they float through pow like a dream. The amount of rocker is perfect, although they could have gone with more and I would have still been fine with it. They chop through crud easily and are still fun in the park!
my only complaint is that they are a little slow (compared to my friends prophet 100s) on the flats, but that can probably be fixed with a waxing...
I've never tried the JJs, and they were on my wish list at the beginning of the season too, but In the end I went with the night trains because of how light they are, and I happen to be a fan of 0 camber under foot.
