The JP vs. Julien is honestly like no other ski ive ever been on. It is so fucken light. I can pop so high on them its nucking futz. Mount -2, as said above, and youll be laughin. The ski switches from pow to park in a heartbeat. They are so light even at a 189 or whatever it is too easy to throw this ski around. By far the greatest all one quiver ski ever made. The maden's are great as well but Armada has been bang on making amazing skis this season. Try out the AnTs if you get a chance. It is such a thick burly stick that even if you hit a rock the rock will shatter and your ski will be fine. I have rode the dumbest fucken lines with my buddys with there stuff ending up in the garbage and all I had was a base scratch. These skis will outlive me.
