Today I arrived a Bristol and there was 5" of fresh on the ground.....light fluffy fresh....snow we seldom get here. Well, something new for the JJ's to expereince. Ya knowl....it's like introducing a young baby to new baby food. Each spoonful of the different flavors garnered another reaction.
ANd so it was with the JJ'.s...todays powder was so much fun with the JJ's...not that my P8's are not fun in the same conditions...it's just feels different. The JJ's cruise through all snow with such smoothness it's hard to describe.? As the morning went on, the snow got piled up into 1-2 foot piles with packed powder in between. I skied through those piles like they were flat snow...I mean notta head jerk...just smooth and the edges at 3 and 1 cut through the hardpack like my P8's.
I had a friend of mine waiting for me at the bottom of a black run....he hadn't been up yet and I came down through the crud and piled snow on the edges with some nice short and medium swing turns. When I got to the bottom, he was blown away I was making turns like that with rockers.....115 underfoot.
The thing that really blew me away...in playing along the edges on small hits and jumps I hit a 3 foot riser and came down and was shocked....the skis sucked up the impact like a full suspension dirt bike...wicked cool...no bouncing, no impact transfer, just absorbtion, tracking and carved to the next turn.
Yep, slide, carve, absorb....fun fun fun!?
? A sweet ride for sure....more adventures coming!? G
