Proper height???

anything above 185. you're to the point where any kind of ski below 178 is too small. source: i'm 6'4" people tell me my 178s look small on me
 
Quick turns in turns fo sho. Im looking at 185 jjs they seem like a pretty go to ski. Are they only pow though?

 
I've only skied on JJs for a couple of days but IMO they are one of the best all mountain pow skis out there. I probably wouldn't take them through the park but everything else they did great on.
 
It 100% depends on your ability.

I'm 6'2, ride a 195 AK JJ and wish they made them longer.

If you're not an experienced pow skier (I'm assuming you're not since you had to ask) it might be helpful to go a bit shorter. 185-ish would be long enough to float and a lot less ski to manage.
 
My AK JJ's will crush through anything. The AK is a bit stiffer than the regular but I've only heard good things about the JJ's
 
I think the 185 JJs would be absolutely fine for you. Best All-Mountain Pow ski I know so far. I have mine for 5 years now and I'm so stoked on them so I get myself a new pair this year. The JJ is also really fun on park jumps with a little bit softer landing.

Another ski you could consider if you are only looking for pow-riding is the 188 Armada Bubba. This ski is just awesome on deep pow days.
 
There's so much to be said for getting longer skis in my opinion. This year I bought Line 130s which arent the most fantastic skis (at 130 they are obscene); but they were like 185-9 or somting like that. I'm 5'10". My park skis are sammy c pros at 178 and having the extra length was fun for so many reasons. swinging around so much more ski at first seemed a bit weird but getting used to it was a fun challenge. It also seems that the longer the ski the more they hold their own at speed at basic physics says you get more flotation. so when in doubt go longer, they look baller too
