Naturally, around this time, everyone should be looking for that perfect deep powder ski.
We had almost no snow until February, but it sure came on strong once it rolled in.
There comes a time where I must admit I was wrong and that time is now.
I couldn’t put any weight on the front of the ski and found myself riding the backseat.
I could feel the onset signs of shin bang and my dorsiflexors tiring.
I needed a solution, and I needed it fast.
By the end of the day, I knew I had to get a pair.
If the Magic J works for him, then I figured it would probably work for me.
It took about 3 turns before I immediately felt comfortable over these fatties, and was absolutely elated.
Powder:
Tanner Hall made this ski with one thing in mind: Burly deep powder skiing with freestyle.
The Magic J’s float is unparalleled to anything else I’ve ever ridden.
I’ve heard many people talk about the JJ as ‘not stiff enough’.
The Magic J upped the stiffness while keeping the playfulness throughout the ski.
After that, it’s time to shine in the glory of tracked out pow.
I never worried about front punching, and I’ve landed in all kinds of positions on these.
Switch skiing on these feels really nice, even in the powder because of that width underfoot.
If you ski these on rails, you have no soul.
After a little bit of Ptex, they were easy to fix.
Apart from that, it’s been smooth sailing.
Get some fat skis and have way more fun.
Another fun fact is you could now tell anyone who has Bent Chetlers that they need some wider skis.
Feel free to leave any thoughts you have, or questions, and I’ll get to them.
