I'm loving the reviews of the Armada JJ. They'll be my first pair of pure alpine skis in a while (I've been boarding, randonee/touring, xc recently you know how it is ;). I'm a pretty aggressive all mountain skier. I used to race, but now I'm all about tracking the powder, finding tight lines and the thrill of the ride. But if the conditions are poor you'll find me riding the lifts all day w/o complaint.
I'm looking for guidance on what sizing of a pair of JJ's would be right for me. I'm 6' and weigh 190. Any tips?
For bonus points if anyone has toured on camber/rockered skis like the JJ using bindings like the Baron's did you find much compromise at the resort when you're riding lifts all day?
Wishing a long white winter to all.

You need the 185cm. I have used the JJ's and dukes as my one ski quiver for 2 years. I happily skied the lifts all day on this setup without ever holding back. The skis are really light and they tour quite well with the help of the camber under foot.

Easily 185. Rocker + twin tip means it will ski quite a bit shorter than nominal length.
