Skiied for 25 years, come http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Armada-JJ-Ski/ARM0104M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139028#question_139028 Armada JJ Ski So I just bought these skis in a 185. Skiied for 25 years, come from a racing background but now love nothing more than fresh pow pow. Of course, not everyday can be heaven, so skiing and tearing up a groomer is inevitable. Through reading a lot of reviews and talking to freinds etc... Ive gotten tons of positive information, but this will be my first pair of skis Ive purchased, without ever riding prior. My question is, and this is for someone who has skiied last years before: How does this ski REALLY hold up as an all mountain ski? Obviously its going to be sick in powder, but how does it handle on hard pack? Keep this in mind... Im looking to know that if all other skis ceased to exist, is this a ski that I could count on to get me through my days, and still have a great time doing it? question_139028 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 22:06:00 GMT Does anyone own this jacket?.

I want to be able to ski the pow with ease, and at the same time have enough maneuverability to go through glades safely. Like I said before I also rip groomers hard! I'm in outer mongolia a lot, the Minturn Mile is one of my favorite things to do. Basically I want to know if I should go with the 175's or the 185's, I wish they made a 180. What should I do?

With all the float and soft core I am thinking of mounting B/D 01's a few mm's towards the tail from center. With today's ski float the tele turn technique has changed a bunch for me. Pushing the ski tip to deep and having it pop up behind the other ski's tail is "almost" hard to do with fat ski tip float. I find myself surfing the front ski with less weight (much less) on the back foot and in return I get rocket like alpine speed. It's a bit like ice skating where you throw your weight into the front skate and your back skate is for turn and speed check. This is not sit on yo ass ski telemarking it's more like giant slalom tele. any way.... If anyone has gone outside the box on mounting the tele binding I would like to read about it please. question_133855 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:20:22 GMT Is it crazy to be thinking about these as a one-quiver ski for http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Armada-JJ-Ski/ARM0104M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_133740#question_133740 Armada JJ Ski Is it crazy to be thinking about these as a one-quiver ski for western resorts (Jackson, Snowbird) and a bit of side country?
