Armada JJ Skis 2010

Comments about Armada JJ Skis 2010:

I use the JJ for everyday shredding around the resort, and for backcountry jumping and jibbing. Having early rise on both the tip and tail coupled with tapering side cut provides versatility unmatched with any other ski. Whenever I am unsure as to what the snow is like, the JJ is my go to ski. I would recommend this ski to anyone who needs one good all around ski. If you already have your all around ski, I would further recommend this ski as your pow specific ski, as it performs like no other.

This ski is unchanged from the 08/09 season. i rode it all last winter and was the only ski in my quiver. This ski rides as well, if not better, than any pow ski but is capable of so much more, the huge early rise tips refuse to dive both forward and switch(its wider at the tail making it more versatile, not to mention cheaper and way doper than the s7). it charges big lines fast, makes quik turns through the trees even on the deepest days, holds its edge on the icey traverses to your stash and plows through crud. aside from the off piste this ski makes awsome GS carve turns. The 5 point sidecut really makes this two skis in one. I got used to using it for everything until no other ski would do it for me. Also if ur over 5' go with the 185 as it skis like a 150 on the groomers. And mount it 4cm from true centre(1cm forward of the recomended point), i found that perfect for forward and switch riding in pow and on firm snow. I am so happy for anyone who buys this ski

Last year, Armada changed the game by introducing the new JJ, a powder ski that will surf when it's deep and actually hold an edge on the groom. In 2008-09, only a few skis such as the Armada JJ and the Rossignol S7 had tip and tail rocker, with camber underfoot. The performance of a ski designed like this cannot be understated when skiing resorts in the west. Floats through the powder all morning, then kills it in the chop and groom in the afternoon. It is no surprise that more manufacturer's are producing a ski with similar camber design this year (see Atomic Bent Chetler, 4frnt CRJ, Salmon Shogun, etc.).

If you are looking for an all around powder ski, you cannot go wrong with JJ. Armada continues to lead the way in creative ski shape and camber configurations-and introducing these to the industry first. Remember that with the rocker, you'll want to about 5-10cm of extra length compared to what you're used to riding. That said, the 185s were sold out by early December last year, and I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen again.
