 Poster: A snowHead

Anyone skied these?
I'm looking into the possibilty of a powder ski and like the sound of these
I'm 6ft and 75kg so thought the 185 would be good

Haven't skied the JJ's, but I have the 190 Moment Bibby Pro's, which are similar in shape, design and purpose - brilliant in powder, and much more versatile than you'd think.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've a set of Rossignol S7's 188 they are pretty much the same shape as the JJ, the S7's have more of a pin tale and I've heard they are a little stiffer.
Its such a versatile ski shape. I love them I can't say enough good things about them.

1873Chris, you might want to think about the Whitedot Directors if you can try them out

I'm on my second season on my JJs and they are fabulous. I'm 5'10" 80kg and ski the 185 and it's perfect. In pow they are stunning. On soft pistes they ski like a 165 GS ski, but admittedly a little slow edge to edge . They've only seen 4 days out this season out of 40+ skied because we've been unlucky with snow and on frozen hardpack my ARVs have the edge. But now it's nice and slushy they come back into their own. There are some discounted ones knocking around this season (the last two seasons they've sold out by January but I think the lack of euro pow has had an impact this year) so hunt around and snap some up.

Have skied them. UNless you need the double rocker i think the K2 Coomback is better (but can you love them in the same way?) and the whitedots as well if you're not in to touring. But, they do the job - they are great in powder and will get you down the firmer stuff without embarrasment. Don't mount the bindings the wrong way round though.

The Coomback does sound interesting cos i've been thinking about touring if i don't move away from scotland lol
Hopefully keep my eye out for bargains
Any other great POW skis to keep my eyes out for?
