Looking for a one ski quiver...Have heard great things here and elsewhere about the Armada JJ. I ski aggressively and ski out West (CA and UT), mostly resort and backcountry (about 50% of each). No park. I have been on a traditional ski without rocker (old Volkl Gotamas) and am looking to make the switch. I ski aggressively and am spending about 50% of the time in the backcountry now. Considering the JJ versus the Moment Bibby Pros. I am 5'11" and 160 lbs.

Also curious how rockered skis do with skins and an AT setup on when skinning. Thanks for any thoughts.

I completely disagree with Will Guru, I actually switched from the Bibby's to JJ's and let me tell you that the JJ's handle better in variable snow then the Bibby's while also providing better float in the deep stuff then the Bibby's. I'm 5'8" 125, ski very aggressively and have the 175 JJ's now, and they are best ski's I've ever owned. I do a lot of traveling so I ski about 50% East Coast 50% West and these do it all, even groomers with just a little getting used to. Also these are not poor quality skis as he suggested nor are they made how he describes them, they're actually sidewall underneath the foot, then capped in the tip and tail. This isn't done to be cheap, this is done to decrease the skis weight, since sidewall is heavier. Buy these over the Bibby's and trust me you won't be disappointed

Another thing I personally would be afraid of breaking a ski if i bought the jj just because of the way i ski. The sidewall constructions usually makes the ski more bomber (cap construction seems a little cheaper and fragile)

Basically the jj's are more nimble and the bibby's are more stable. The JJ's are lighter weight but I find the bibby's better in variable snow. The jj leans more toward a lightweight ski and the bibby towards a freeride ski. I think the bibby might suit you needs better. The bibby and jj are both fun skis but keep in mind if you want to ski fast and agressively there are skis that handle higher speeds better.

You can ride these very aggressively. It will take a bit of adjustment coming from traditional camber, but after the short learning curve you will be seeing the benefits of charging on skis like the JJ. You have an unbelievable amount of control in a variety of conditions. Skinning is not a problem for the most part. There's not a skinner in the wasatch I haven't been able to climb, but again, a slight adjustment in technique is required. There is just enough camber to give you purchase 98% of the time.
