On3p Jeffrey or Armada JJ for playful/jibby ski. Any help would be appreciated.

For an allmountain ski, the Jeffrey would suit much better than a JJ, especially in less than optimal conditions.

I havent skied the jeffery but have skied the JJ. The JJ is a great Pow-tree ski. If your skiing fresh powder, espically in the trees you will love that ski for all it's worth. It proably has a good swing weight as it was really easy to control in the trees. Now if you want to ski the chop or massive hig speed lines look else where.

I do own the Billy goat from ON3P and have nothing but good things to say about it.

Don't know if this will help but my friends dad got a pair of Jeffery's and they are super soft skis.

I've answered this in other threads, but my primary light and touring setup this year was the Jeffrey Tour with Dynafit Radicals. I used them for 20 touring and 8 lift days this past season.

Overall, they were a very playful ski. They worked on the entire mountain (and in variable backcountry conditions) and floated well enough in deep snow. They also toured well (definitely better than Caylors with the same Dynafits), but that is more due to the Dynafiddles than anything else. The skis love being in the air and are capable of popping off of anything you damn well please. If you want a stiff, hard-charging ski then you might want something a little less playful. PM me of you want any specific examples (I'm a little drunk and lazy right now).

The Jeffery is more playful than the JJ.

ummmm...no.

FWIW I spent half of last season on the Jeffery. It's such a solid all around ski, it's a playful ski that lacks Armada's twitchy characteristics. The eliptical sidecut, and generally stout ON3P layup lets it run hard when you want, and make tight turns when you need it to.

And of course the sickenss that is bamboo.

really? I thought it was heavier, had less taper, longer turn radius, and better in crud? That doesnt seem more playful than a JJ. Im looking for a ski that I can cruise a lap in the park when its soft (have a park ski for low snow) but really meant for turning the mountain into a park. Jibbin off all the knolls and features I can find. However, I have a Line Blend for a super playful ski, i need something that can handle a little bit steeper terrain. What about the TST?

I have a pair of 186 Jeffreys. It is definitely a playful ski, but can also charge hard when you want to. Park laps are super fun on them, and it can also rip crud/fresh with ease. It's hard to describe, but it's playful when you want it, and charger when you need it.

The Jeffrey is quite a one of a kind...it can do this:

I stand by my statement.
