Looking for a lightweight contender for your backcountry adventures? Look no further than the re-designed Jak BC for 2005! This ski sports flashback topsheets and lightweight construction with emphasis on swift backcountry travel where the snow is piled high and deep.
Built with the MacroLite Core, which consists of Aspen with a hardwood top laminate, and the Carbon Powerband, the Jak BC has a one-track mind–where’s the POWDER? The Jak BC shares the same dimensions and lengths as the Jak. Dimensions are 124-90-113 and it’s offered in 165cm, 172cm, 179cm and 186cm. The new dimensions now make it easier to find compatible skins, while still providing enough girth to float through powder and crud.
If you spend most of your time in the backcountry, or can afford to have a dedicated setup for backcountry skiing, the Jak BC looks to be one of the lightest and most versatile backcountry skis on the market. In fact, I was told that the Jak BC shaves 22 oz. off the Jak per pair! That makes a big difference after a 4,000 ft. vertical ascent. Plus, with the healthy shape, you’ll be sure to savor every turn in the powder. As more and more folks venture into the backcountry, the Jak BC looks to be poised to offer a lightweight solution for weight-conscious backcountry travel.
We put the Jak on a diet for those who mostly earn their turns. TelemarkTips.com had this to say about the new Jak BC, “In our opinion the Jak BCs are, pound-for-pound, the finest all around performing pair of skis we’ve ever tested for backcountry use.” The Jak BC has proven a standout in the Backcountry for both AT and Telemark skiers. By replacing the Titanal with Carbon and using our Macrolite Poplar core, the BC is considerably lighter then the Jak, but with the same great shape.
