What kind of question is that? Good skis compared to what? Good skis for what kind of style if ridding? I'd assume it's safe to say that JJ's are pretty beat in the park and on ice. Then again they kill it in deep snow.

Damn lil kid.

I have a pair of 07-08 188cm JJs and they are soooo fun. one of the lightest and most playful skis i have used. not so soft but not to stiff i would highly recommend them as a pow/ all mtn ski.!

The ON3P Billygoat is a good alternative, and a much better company to support.

I love my JJ's. I live in AK and the park at Alyeska is located right next to the tram so we usually cruise through it on the way down. On my JJ's I can ski pillows and park in the same run no problem. Actually contemplated selling all my other skis then I remembered there was no way in hell I was parting with my ARG's. So yes, the JJ kicks ass, but theres other skis out there like it so make sure you've seen everything there is to see before buying.

I also have a question. Right now I have Griffon Schizo's on mine and I like it, but I have friends who got me really stoked on AT last season and I really want to get into it. If anyone has experience with the JJ's and AT could you tell me where you mount yours/best mounting point so they'll also perform switch? I just feel more comfortable landing switch so that's why I'm asking.

The JJ's are sick, i loved mine when i was in Utah and i like them in quebec. They rip pow, pretty good in trees and not that bad on groomers. If you want to ski park whit them, they are fine but due too the fact that they are mounted back its not super fun. For reel you should buy them, they are not a one quiver ski btw, but if you don't go in the park too much, you will be fine. Buy the 185cm !!!! even if your small the 175cm are nice but ski like snowblade. if you have more specefic question pm me bro.
