THE ARTWORK

Jessa Gilbert x J Collab

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!

Being a landscape artist, Jessa Gilbert always takes the path less traveled. Her work rises directly from her experiences and adventures in nature. She literally sketched this view while out on an adventure, we're honored to be able to bring it back to life on these Limited Edition skis.

I'm building only 450 pair of these Limited Edition skis and hand-signing and numbering each, so grab a new pair before they sell out!

The Slacker

136 – 110 – 128

"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!

Full Height Sidewalls

Maximum impact resistant & vibration dampening
We’re using super durable, high impact absorbing Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) polyethylene for our sidewalls. This is the same material we use on our ski's bases. It’s very impact resistant and since it’s full height, it also absorbs more vibration like using a longer spring in your car’s suspension. Take a metal pipe and hit it against a rock, then do the same with a piece of plastic. The metal vibrates through to your bones & the plastic absorbs the vibration for you. That’s the difference of having full height plastic shock absorbing sidewalls over your edges or not. We’re cutting the sides of the sidewalls to a 10* angle, with a nice step at the bottom for easy tuning like race skis.
