I live on the east coast so Im used to ice, but every year I ski more and more pow whether up north or out west. But I need the ski to be managable on the east coast incase something happens to my park ski.
What Ski do you guys suggest for skiing pow pow but that can also be accpetable on the east coast?

IMO the armada jj is a wonderful powder and everyday ski because it is floaty and surfy in powder, it can charge in crud, and is surprisingly good on groomers and hard snow. You might want to demo is before buying though. You mentioned wanting it to be skiable in the park and the jj isn't the right ski for that so maybe the k2 kung fujas, line blend, or rossignol s3 would work well. If it was me I would just count on my park skis and get the armada jj.

Yeah I heard alot of good things about the JJ's and I skied the S3's out west but the demo didnt give me enough time to make up my mind on them, I look into all the skis you listed above, thanks! +k

Moment Bibby pro, it will change your life. It rides just like a firm but playful park ski 116 underfoot so its a true powder weapon. I love mine.

i am in the same situation as you, i rode the 4Frnt turbo, and that seems to be the winner!!  105 underfoot and early rise tip and tail to float.  Perfect pow all mtn ski, i do take it out west when i go, but it slays crud down here in the south east

4FRNT TURBO FTW
