A blend between moderately life- changing and genuinely flawless,” elated one tester about the JJ. Year after year the JJ outperforms the rest of the class with its impressive collection of technical features that allow you to conquer pow, crud, groomers and everything in-between. Featuring Armada’s EST Freeride Rocker — big-time rocker in the tip and tail, normal camber underfoot — the JJ can effortlessly float in powder, easily carve on hardpack and quickly swivel in tight situations. Drop in the company’s Hybrid UltraLight Core, cap construction and carbon-kevlar stringers and you have the perfect big mountain ski that won’t wear you out.
