ok perfect thanks so much!! i am still only 16 and growing pretty rapidly so i think i should be in that weight zone pretty soon. I was looking at a pair of 179's with griffons that are pretty much brand new for $450. Is that a good price do you think? and also what other ski would you reccomend that would be more stable in the chop at the end of a pow day? thanks so much
^there are so damn many to choose from, but generally stiffer skis with a bit less aggressive rocker r gonna be more stable, and $450 shipped is a great deal with bindings, although the bindings may have to be remounted, and when u get a bit bigger u may want the 189. More versatile pow skis to look at would be the armada jj, and line opus if u want playfulness and pop with a bit more versatilitly, and I would look at those in the 185 and 184 respectively
I skied on the jj everyday for two years and loved them, this year I got fid of them only to get the ak jj as I am 190 ish lbs, it is an amazing ski and I couldn't reccomend it any higher, it just does exactly what u want it to do all the time, when ur running out of something its stable, carves groomed well, handles all but the heaviest chop well, and skis pow amazingly!
