How do the jj perform on variable snow? I'm an intermediate skier who wants to improve his abilities and looking for an all arounder... With 6 ft & 188 lb. should I go for 185 or 195?

JJ's would work for you for sure, if you want something more powder specific and still all around, if you want something more all around, less powder, maybe a Volkl Mantra?

I mostly ski in Balkan area, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Serbia, etc. I'm an intermediate to advanced skier and the countries that I ski have most of the time variable snow and not so much powder. I admit that don't enjoy skiing groomers but I won't stay at home if it hasn't snowed lately. I intent to have only one pair of skis..

Variable snow? I love my JJ when its deep, I love them when its groomed or even icy, variable soft crud is fine, don't like them in heavier crud cuz they get kicked around to much and can be a rough ride. Really depends on your ability level and what youre exactly looking for. Will this be your only pair of skis and what part of country do you live in? I'm 6'1" 180lbs and ski the 185, expert level skier and on deep days I could say they could be longer but for most days the 185 is just plain fun.
