Comments:

So I was up at Mission Ridge WWSRA Demo and got a couple chances to get out on the Justice skis and boy was it fun. Ok to be fair I didn’t really like them at first with Telemark turns as it was pretty hard groomers and I had spent the whole morning on NTN gear so it was a little bit of an adjustment before I felt comfortable on these skis. I changed out to the Scarpa TX Pro boots and used the Diamir Eagle bindings(AT) and the skis changed a bunch for me. Really fun and turned really easy. I could do either slow SL turns or fast GS turns and they held up really nice and were really easy. I didn’t expect these skis to work so well and it was fun on the second day to give these skis another chance with Tele gear as we got about 2 inches of fresh which does not sound like much but these ski came alive and was about as much fun as you can have on a ski. Super fun and easy to ski making quick easy turns yet still had that nice loading that BD does really well with. In the end I would say that these are almost a one ski quiver type ski…almost
