The Artwork

Fank x J Collab

200 MadeReleased August 4, 2023

Our Art Director, Fank, has been wanting to create this “greetings from” postcard style graphic forever so we finally decided to drop it for our 10 Year Anniversary Ski Collection. Imagine your buddy skipped out on joining you for an epic day and you send them a pic of you standing on top of an amazing run with these bases to rub it in. Ha!

Fank brought warm oranges, yellows, and pink to pop against a backdrop of lush foliage, guaranteed to transport you to a tropical paradise while shredding pow. We of course couldn’t just run with a standard floral print, so we made it our own by throwing in some funny, creepy, slimy details because paradise isn't always paradise. You and your friends will be constantly discovering new tiny slug bugs in the art on every chairlift ride, drawn by a super fan named Anders from Bellingham, WA.

I’m building only 200 pair of this new Limited Edition graphic and hand signing and numbering each pair so you have a unique ski like no one else. This is your chance to grab some island vibez!

The Slacker

136 – 110 – 128

The mid-width ski in our Explore Collection that’s light for easy touring and floatation in deep powder, while still holding its own long after the last storm.

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

The Finest Materials

Aspen Construction

By selling these skis factory directly to you, we can invest more money into using the highest quality materials possible for a game-changing level of premium performance & durability.

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.
