What is the good choice for skiing whistler slack and inbounds and the occasionnal BC trips? do you have any other ski proposition?
 
We need more info to help you out. How tall are you and how much do you weigh? What is your style of skiing? Hard charging point them straight or buttering and jibbing off of everything?
 
Buy my obsetheds for 200$, surfier and more playful than the jj, but no taper traditional shape makes it charge variable much better. Its a very easy ski to ski, but it can also charge better than similar alternatives. Even blister gear says k2 hit this one out of the park, its just a great ski. 117 underfoot, lots of rocker.
 
You need to figure out how 'hard' you are going to be charging. The JJs fold up under high speed, aggressive skiing, esp in crud and bumps. I think they are too turney too, the opus is longer turning and a little more solid of a ski.
 
I loved my Opus...but they were just no where near stiff enough. I didn't really realize that until after I rode a pair of Nordica Helldorados. Check that ski out, super awesome one ski quiver, but they charge a lot harder
