i just saw in my local ski shop next years armadas they are called the TST they are a R.I.P ski for travis steeger they look pretty mad , they are pretty much exact to the JJ, but a bit skiinier under foot. sorry i dont have photo proof they are pretty mad thye are a pinky whitee colour, i dont really love the design.
 
Held them today, similar to the rossi S3 98 or w/e.

JJ tip rocker, flat tail, 100ish underfoot, nice and stiff. Seemed light, maybe a good choice for a side country touring ski.

I've skied these and they are pretty damn good. I'll do a better review if someone is thinking of buying.
 
Well I only took a couple of runs in mixed/crappy conditions.
They are fairly stiff, stiffer than JJs in the tip, possibly about the same underfoot, maybe a tad stiffer. They carved far better than any rocker ski I've skied, did pretty well in the cruddy snow we had. They busted through the death chunks and didn't get too flappy when I pushed them hard on the groomed. In the few (very) little pockets of pow I could find they floated well. I'm used to Bent Chetlers as a daily ski so they were different from that. The tail sinks nicely but the tip stays up and floats.
They are very light and the mounting point is a good way back, which was weird for me since I'm used to centre --> -2cm. I think they'd be a great daily ski for someone who spends almost all their time going forwards and they be a great touring setup too. Definitely one of the best 1 ski quivers out there if you're not a jibby kind of guy.
 
thanks for the review i was looking for a charger that could do pow/crud....big mtn everyday ski for my trips to bigger mtns in the east and some switch skiing so i would have to take a look into these...
