Mike Yoshida is the photo editor for Snowboarder Magazine and travels the world capturing images of today's top pro riders. Although he shoots in color as well, he’s most well known for his black and white photography which creates a really unique looking ski.
This is the third collab we’ve done together. This time, we decided to integrate a large variety of his images with the intention of looking like simple stripes from far, but as you get closer, you recognize the individual snowy scenes within each stripe.
Mike started this project by sifting through hundreds of his favorite environmental photos and narrowing it down to his favorite dozen or so. We then spent countless hours further refining and testing different arrangements until finally agreeing on these 10 images. This ski graphic really highlights his unique eye for textures, details and flattering scenery. I’m building only 200 pair of this new Limited Edition graphic on “The Slacker” ski and hand signing and numbering each so you have a unique ski like no one else.

A lighter ski that also charges hard, making it the least nerdy touring ski in the world.
"The Slacker" is a powder-focused ski designed with uphill efficiency in mind, while maintaining the reliable downhill performance that J skis are known for. This ski is as happy spending 100% of its time riding lifts as it is venturing off into the unknown, a unique characteristic that leaves traditional, nerdy, uphill-specific skis behind. "The Slacker's" weight-conscious Aspen core and twin-tip shape make it light and ultra-maneuverable to whip around through tight trees or chutes. 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! Charge, surf, slash, play, and have more fun adventuring off the beaten path. Go get fresh tracks!

This ski is kind of a big deal!
The Slacker does a great job of maintaining much of the predictability, versatility and playfulness of J's other skis, in a lighter package.
- Blister Gear Review
Anyone can hop aboard and drive, bend, and edge and just have a good day skiing. I could hand this to anyone who wants to ski powder without working too hard.
- SKI Magazine
This is the perfect crossover ski; light, playful and stable. It has great edge-to-edge feel that makes turning feel like buttering bread with a warm knife.
- Freeskier Magazine
While lightweight, you won't sacrifice performance coming back down. If your goal is to play on bigger lines and sidecountry powder, The Slacker will help you achieve it.

Confidence-inspiring edge hold; The Slacker is a stable ski to throw hard into turns.
