To all of the shop rats out there, i had a season ending ACL tear last year and was not able to demo any of next years skis. I have an opportunity to get a pair of Armadas and want a pow ski that is good in nearly all soft snow conditions. I currently have 192 TSTs and 192 solly rockers as my pow sticks, and have owned JJ's in the past. I loved the JJ, but wanted a little better crud performance. Prefer 190s sizes. Thanks boys and girls.

Spark Notes: Armada pow ski, not the JJ, that handles crud well in a 190 +
 
That is kind of what I was thinking, but I have only talked to one person that has actually skied them, seems like a super solid choice though
 
Yes I have.

Skied it in pretty variable snow conditions at Mammoth this spring after a solid 12" of fresh. Basically it's a much more stable, wider, and less tapered version of the TST. If you aren't planning to really use your potential new powder ski for booters/etc. I really think the Norwalk would be a solid choice. Definitely more directional than any Armada powder ski to date.

Magic J is more playful than the Norwalk. Pretty much just a fatter, more burly version of the JJ. Also has a redesigned taper (more gradual, rounded). Ideal for booters, pillows, landing switch.
