Difference......

[-NY-STeeZE-]

Im looking into buying either Jp v. Juliens or ANT's im 6'2" 175 and will be skiing these on groomers, some pow, and BC jumps, what is the difference between the two besides 3cm in length and 3 mm in underfoot, is it flex? tell me what you know

Completely different skis.

ANT's are backcountry chargers, hardly any sidecut (or none?) and stiff, ie big lines.

Jps are softer and meant for backcountry jibbing.

The ANTs are turny-er and stiffer. Though they aren't as stiff as they used to be, the ultralight core makes them softer than the originals. Personally, unless you are doing a lot of BC booters, I think the ANTs are a better all-around ski. They do suffer a bit in the trees though.
