Bottom Line: The Armada JJ is a really fun ski. It  floats well at 115 underfoot, but with such early taper and rocker it has a really surfy feeling. It really can handle anything you toss at it. I highly recommend this ski to ANYONE who is looking at getting into rocker, who rides powder/crud atleast 70% of the time, or who wants a sick backcountry jib ski!

Pros:  "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." Seriously, they are probably the best 1 ski quiver ski that I have ever handled (for Snowbird/Alta that is). They carve fine on groomers, better than the Armada ARG or even the S7. They float and surf awesome in deep pow, and they are stiff enough to handle crud without a problem. I don't know if it gets any better than this.  They carve well enough on groomers, but it is definitely not a racing ski.

Cons: My only gripe is that the ski could be slightly longer.  Skis with rocker feel slightly shorter than they really are.  If Armada made this ski in a 188-189 it would be awesome.  The length issue may be reduced if you mount the ski on the recommended line.  The pair I skied were mounted very aggressively, forward from the suggested mounting point.

It is rumored that a 195 Jumbo JJ will be released in 2010/2011...keep your eyes open.
