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™

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