Armada JJ Skis 2012: if you simply want the best back and sidecountry ski available, the Armada JJ Skis are without question for you. Patented EST Freeride Rocker and the UltraLight core combine to produce the most balanced big ski on the market. It handles blower pow with ease, trasitions to busted crud without shifting gears, and it will carve a turn that will leave you speechless.
Shape
EST Freeride Rocker is simply the best of all worlds: rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber underfoot to promote floatation in soft snow and provide remarkable edge control in the harder stuff.
This is a 5-dimension ski where the widest point is set back closer to the bindings for a tip and tail that easily rise and are hook-free in powder, while the rest of the ski performs well on all snow conditions with traditional sidecut.
Construction
With an AR50 side wall, the ABS sidewall meets Cap construction, combining lightweight Cap construction in the tip and tail with ABS sidewall underfoot for enhanced edgehold and significantly lower swing and overall weight.
The JJ has a 1.7 edge, with a deliberately smaller height and width, increased durability, and decreased weight.
The 50/50 base is rugged and fast.
The Laminate Matrix consists of three kinds of fiberglass laminates to deliver the exact amount of flex and torsional rigidity needed.
A blend of Carbon/Kevlar stringers run the tail of the ski to stabilize it, creating better landing platform, increased snap and added pop.
Flex
The Hybrid UltraLight core is made up of select 375kg/m3 wood stringers that have unusually high strength-to-weight ratios so the JJ maintains a light but stable feel. ABS layers are pre-installed alongside the core directly underfoot to concentrate the weight of the ski below the boot sole to increase durability and lower swing weight.
Flex Pattern: tip - 6, waist - 7, tail - 6.5 (out of 10)
Dimensions
12m @ 165 and 175cm, 14m @ 185cm, 126/136/115/133/123 (all sizes)
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake that is equal to the waist width and at most 20mm wider.

        Comments about Armada JJ Skis 2012:

        I bought this ski for powder skiing at Alta. I was blown away at the versatility of this ski! It does it all! Carves on groomed runs, bust through crud and variable snow, and rips powder like nothing I've ever imagined! This is my go to ski for everything except ice skiing, but I ski Alta so thats not a problem.

          The JJs are amazing skis. They float on the powder and chew through the crud like it isn't even there. I was worried about using them on groomed runs, but they are incredible on the groomers too! I really love these skis, and you will not regret them.

          Comments about Armada JJ Skis 2012:

          I bought the JJs untried but after careful review of ratings and comments. The best decision I've ever made. I've been a Mantra guy for the last five years and my most recent pair are now collecting dust in my locker. I live and ski in Taos, NM. They perform incredibly well in hard and soft bumps, groomers and powder. The quickest and easiest turning skis I've ever tried. Finally got a foot of fresh last week and I've never experienced pure flotation and responsiveness that these skis provided.

          Such a fun ski in any conditions besides ice. But who likes ice? Floaty, quick, stable, stompable, and tomahawkable. Best ski ever.

          This ski is so good. It floats like no other and the rocker makes it even better. They are light enough to get good spins but are stable enough for groomers. The edges just have a little trouble holding up on the groomers but they rip!

          This ski is super light for a powder ski and turns extremely quickly. Floats amazing too and no trouble on hardpack conditions. Overall a great all mountain powder ski!

          Perfect in the pow and trees

            • TREES

            Comments about Armada JJ Skis 2012:

            The JJ is the best ski for tight trees and any amount of fresh snow under 12". When it gets really deep, you would be better on something with less sidecut and a bigger waist, but in the PNW that rarely happens. The JJ is a little soft for charging hard in steep bowls and chutes, but in anything else, they are perfect. Extremely light and easy to maneuver in the trees and around bumps. They are alright on groomers considering how large the waist is, but honestly, if you are buying such a fat ski, you probably don't want to spend much time on groomers anyways. Overall a great ski and I highly reccomend for anyone who likes to jump and hit natural features in pow.
