Jessa’s “Kootenays” graphic from last season was so popular we had to invite her back from another collab! She’s an experiential landscape artist and a badass backcountry guide based out of British Columbia, not to mention, a former New Englander & UVM graduate. This particular painting is from Jessa’s #getoutoftownvibe series, which includes sketches of landscapes she sees while actively out in the field.
The scene in this piece is a common view for Jessa during her winter adventures along the Slocan River, a 60-kilometre long tributary of the Kootenay River in the Canadian province of British Columbia. We loved the effortless flowy vibe of this painting reminding us of floating through pow after a fresh storm.
I'm only building 200 pairs of these Limited Edition skis and hand-signing and numbering each, so stop slacking off and grab a new pair before they’re gone!

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.
