Like every good vacation spot, sometimes it’s fun to switch things up, as did Jason Levinthal with his proprietary all-about-fun ski, the J Skis The Vacation 2020. Coming in at 104 millimeters (mm) underfoot–two mm narrower than past years–and adding taper in the tips and a more playful flex than before, the 2020 Vacation is an absolute butter machine. A maple wood core with carbon fiber stringers keep this ski light without sacrificing strength and full-height sidewalls add stability for supreme jibbing all over the damn hill. Take a Vacation from your regular fat-ski design.

FREESKIER tester thoughts:

“Jibby, carvy, poppy, slarvy. These are your one-hitter, do-all kind of blades. If the mountain is a playground to you, then these are the toys you want.”

“A forgiving ski that likes to be thrown around and jibbed all over the mountain. I would steal this ski!”
