The winner of our Gear Giveaway this week will get the J Skis Slacker!
As we noted in our First Look of the new Slacker, this is J’s first ski designed with backcountry touring in mind. But as you can see from its “Uphill Both Ways” graphic — and more importantly — its design and construction, this isn’t your typical touring ski.
With a moderate weight, twinned tail, deep rocker lines, and a progressive mount point, the Slacker seems best suited to those who want a fairly light ski that doesn’t suck on the descent. And it should be particularly appealing to those who like to take a more playful approach to skiing, or people who want a ski that’s fun at slower speeds and that can still be pushed quite hard. Plus, at ~1920 g per ski, we wouldn’t rule out the Slacker if you ski in the resort but prefer a lighter ski (we’ll be saying more about this in our upcoming 20/21 Winter Buyer’s Guide).
So now is your chance to try what J calls “the least nerdy touring ski on the market” — enter before Friday, October 16th for your chance to win!
