{"title":"The Escalator","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Escalator is easy up, easy down! This lighter weight, yet uniquely solid ski is built to do what you wanna do, whether that's sunrises on the skin track or spending all of your time riding lifts. The secret ingredient is a combination of a light Aspen core paired with our classic downhill ski construction for a Goldilocks feel that seamlessly blends stability with weight savings. Its 102mm waist slides perfectly into every skier’s quiver as a do-it-all tool that can lay down carves in bounds as effortlessly as it surfs pow in the trees. We gave it a twin-tip shape for skiing backward and increased maneuverability in tight situations like chutes and trees. A subtle tail notch provides reliable skin clip retention for fast transitions. Add our pre-cut skins that perfectly fit the skis, and you're ready to go touring right out of the box! The Escalator is the SUV of skis that keeps your legs fresher longer, so you can shred stronger everywhere on the mountain from sunrise to last chair.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-e5d82d2b-7fff-0a99-70d1-8868d6f964e8\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e#JEscalatorSki\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"escalator-proto","title":"The Escalator \"PROTOTYPE\" Limited Edition Ski","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J skis","offers":[{"title":"169cm","offer_id":39671190159447,"sku":"","price":729.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"176cm","offer_id":39671190192215,"sku":"","price":729.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"182cm","offer_id":39593671524439,"sku":"J22ECPROTO182","price":729.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"188cm","offer_id":39671190224983,"sku":"","price":729.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/7219\/products\/JSK_ESCALATOR-PROTOTYPE_ProductPage_3views_Final-01B.png?v=1647457966"},{"product_id":"deep","title":"The Escalator \"DEEP\" Ryan Schmies x J Collab Limited Edition Ski","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is our fourth ski collaboration together and even after working with Ryan for years, his ideas and illustrations always blow me away!
