Has anybody heard about this? Seems interesting. Supposably a ski that can literally ski anything well.

There are a few pairs at the shop at Goldminer's Daughter at Alta. Haven't tried them yet. To me they seem like a ski that's a jack of all trades, master of none.

I got to ski these last week along with the new Rocker 2's, I have to be honest I thought they were going to be a gimmick ski...i really didn't think they would ski that well or at least ski well all over the mountain, but they were really sick actually, they held an edge like no ski i've ever been on (i mean like i was nuking down runs and they were super stable) and they skied the steeps here in Crested Butte really well.  Definitely no a park ski or for switch riding haha, but they were overall pretty cool.  The amount of comments I got on the lift was absolutly rediculous too haha  "hey man do you got surfboards on your feet." -random texan

yea theres already a ski that owns everything. its the JJ, or any normal to reverse sidecut ski with the "elf shoe" rocker such as the CRJ's or S7s. my JJs tear up groomers, jumps, crud, tracked snow and powder. the only thing is that if your skiing deep deep pow, having some extra width underfoot wouldnt hurt

really not all that impressed with the jj over all the other skis out there that share a similar design. i found the bibbys to hold up much better as a kill everything ski.



jj = overhyped
