The Artwork

Mike Yoshida x J Collab

I'm proud to release my 2nd collaboration with Mike Yoshida. Mike travels the world capturing photos of today's top pro snowboarders. However it's his unique passion and eye for capturing beautiful snow environments that caught my attention and led to us creating this one-of-a-kind Limited Edition ski graphic.

The concept was to find a mountain view which would actually look more like abstract art from far away. However as you get closer to the image, you begin to see the details and realize it's an actual photo. Mike started by sifting through hundreds of his favorite environmental photos, and narrowed it down to a dozen that fit. We then spent countless hours further refining and testing different positions and scaling in the shape of the ski. It's always extremely difficult to convert a standard rectangular piece of art into two long skinny canvas's and make it look good, but we couldn't be happier with how this turned out! Photo taken in Hakuba, Japan. 

I’m building only 400 pair of this Limited Edition graphic on The Masterblaster ski, and hand signing and numbering each so you have a one-of-a-kind ski like no one else!

The Masterblaster™

125 - 96 - 114

Powerful, ultra responsive precision on firm snow that's equally fun & playful beyond the groomers

We redesigned our #1 selling all-mountain ski ”The Masterblaster'' with a new, wider 99mm waist and slightly increased rocker. The result nails the sweet spot of freeride performance by enhancing soft snow playfulness, while providing firm snow precision and responsiveness for ripping everything on the mountain without compromise. Our proven light titanal-laminate construction enables power and stability where you need it, while keeping swing-weight low and maneuverability high. This new ski has the same rebellious frontside attitude you’ve come to expect from “The Masterblaster,” now with a bigger sweet spot that begs to take the road less traveled!
