    Why? They both seem highly rated for pow and all mountain?

    There is only one choice for skiing west;
    the Tech Talk Jong pro model! I'd go with the 155cm if I were you, or the 163 if you really want to slay the steep and deep!

    The SS7 skis west much better than the JJ, that ski is more suited to skiing south, maybe southeast on a good day. Do you ever feel limited by the ability to only ski one direction?

    I wan't to know how someone can be 6'9'' and weight 170lbs? Are you sure you should be skiing? You might fall over and break in-half.
    You should see if they make a SSS7 for people who can dunk on a basketball hoop while still standing on the ground.

    By the age you get your MD, your weight for height is statistically impossible. Off the charts or diseased. Ergo, you're either not an MD or you're dying. But given the question, guess you're 16, tall and skinny, and wanna be a doc when you grow up. Or you're 48, dumpy, wished you had passed high school bio, and ski greens in North Carolina...

    or he is rating his skiing on a scale of 1-10 and is an asshole ignorant to the fact that people are making billions of dollars through a revolutionary idea, "search".

    Haven't skied the Super and i did not give the S7 more than a day to get used to but I would get JJs over S7. Sometimmes I would like to have a more directional ski but that would be taken care of with a different mount. To me, the JJ is a lot more stable and less squirrely. Actually has a back end to the ski too! Too much tip deflection in the S7. I might be the only person who did not love this ski... Although its not my first time with rocker. I imagine the tail on the Super7 would be much better but it still has that rediculous tip.
    195 AKJJ?

    ps. amazing post. looks like something from Newschoolers

    Two entirely different skis. Both are equally good in their ways (I have ridden both). JJ is shorter more RR. S7 is more directional but not as stable. Seriosly, just buy the 192 big dumps for $325 on gear swap. Stability, check, float check, roll over anything, check. Done
    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues
