Product Info
Armada JP vs. Julien Skis - JP’s creative energy and Julien’s superior technical understanding coupled with their experience and ability come together in the JP vs. Julien Signature Model Skis. Take off switch with more confidence behind a tail 10 mm higher than the tip. Armada’s full-wood Ultra Light Core, heat treated 1.7 Edge wrapped around a 103 mm waist, makes this one of the most universal backcountry skis out there. The great wide open isn’t just about hitting booters though, it’s about skiing extremely variable conditions anywhere on the mountain. JP and Julien designed this ski with a soft flex profile and very little camber and sidecut to get more out of the reduced with and extra width in powder. According to JP, if he could take only one ski with him on any trip this would be it.
Product Details
Other Features
Ultra Light Core- This core is made up of very hard to find light weight high density wood species. The wood laminate construction provides Armada with a very stable light weight core construction. This is the back-bone of Armada’s widest backcountry skis enabling them to maneuver effortlessly through deep powder conditions while providing a smooth ride.
50/50 Base- A blend of two base materials that creates better speed for Armada’s wider skis.
1.7 Edge- These edges are heat treated to Armada’s custom specifications to minimize edge breakage and maximize durability. The 1.7 edges offer weight savings.
ABS Construction- Armada’s strongest and most performance based type of construction. This type of construction is more material and labor intensive than cap construction.
Sandwich Fiberglass- The perfect blend of Uni & Bi directional composite fiberglass mixed with carbon fiber stringers creates a union that provides positive edge control and precisely the right amount of torsion and pop.

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
