One day I got this email from a highschool friend I haven't spoken to in decades... "What’s up brotha! Hope you and your fam are well. My Masterblasters are sweet, seeing bunch of awesome artist/graphics. Copying in my bro-in-law Chris who is an artist in Truckee, CA. He uses water colors. Website and IG below. - Brian Lavigne"
I clicked the links and hot damn! There were some really sick water color paintings, so I immediately reached out to Chris. Being a skier, he was super hyped for the opportunity to design a ski graphic so we got right to work. We schemed the vibe looking out over the fading horizon lines of the surrounding peaks on a crisp clear day in the Green Mountains of Vermont, or during summers at Mt. Hood and in the hills around Truckee where Chris lives. Chris got to work capturing this vibe in his magic watercolors, painting a handfull of differnent ranges. Then Fank, our designer scanned them and digitally stacked them up the length of the ski. The lesson of this story is don't ignore your email... or your friends!"😄
I'm building only 350 pair of these Limited Edition skis and hand-signing and numbering each, so grab a new pair before they sell out! Follow Chris Crossen and learn more about his history and work here

The Slacker™

The second-widest ski in our Explore Collection is a true powder ski that handles far easier than a traditional "fat" ski, surfing powder like a dream while staying nimble on your feet.
The Slacker is a lightweight pow ski that also charges hard, equally comfortable hot lapping in bounds stashes as it is touring into the backcountry to get first tracks. Built with freshies in mind, its long rockered tips keep you floating effortlessly while the light build makes it easy to whip around and more playful in deep snow. We included plenty of tail rocker for backing up, skiing switch, and buttering without getting caught up. The 110mm width is quicker than most pow skis so you can also have fun ripping all over the mountain when the pow is gone. Although it's light, its reliable flex and carbon fiber stringers deliver lots of energy and power for high speed charging through chop and variable snow. We also included a subtle tail notch that provides reliable skin clip retention on long tours to find the goods. Add our pre-cut skins that perfectly fit the skis, and you're ready to go touring right out of the box. Slash, surf, play and have way more fun adventuring off the beaten path on this insanely versatile pow ski!"

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.
