| This is the ski that introduced Karhu to the market, and its fan base is only growing. Stable and dependable, a top contender for the best quiver of one ski on the market. |
Its launch marked a revolution in freeheel skiing, and the cult following of the Jak continues to grow. With a progressive sidecut and proven Die-Cut Titanal® for easy turn initiation and solid edgehold, the Jak earned top marks at the Couloir Ski Test, "This season's testers unanimously rated it the highest mark for powder performance in Fat Skis. That's not to say it's a powder-only ski, as it ranked near the top of every other category as well." Consider the Jak the one ski that does it all.

Couloir magazine: "The Jak is back, changing only its graphics after last year's big diet, and that's fine by us. Confirming our opinion that the popular Jak had lost none of its soft snow float last year, this season's testers unanimously rated it the highest mark for powder performance in Fat Skis. That's not to say it's a powder-only ski, as it ranked near the top of every other category as well: 'Versatile ski for me.' 'Let the Jaks do the work, and they'll handle it.' 'Very versatile and predictable, lively and fun, effortless.' 'Top pick for quiver of one. Felt natural all over the mountain. Most ski for the $ in the [Fat] category.' 'Does whatever you need. Stable, fun, quick and strong in tight spots.' 'Didn't want to give them up! Could very well be the one ski that does it all.' No matter what your skill level or terrain, mount up the Jaks to ski with ease."
Skiing magazine: "Now a subsidiary of K2, Karhu has completely revamped its line - and it shows. 'From start to finish', said one tester, 'they had a stable, round flex.' The Jak slays bumps, crud, and groomers and slips easily out the gates for deeper glory. Props: Drives well in a variety of conditions. Gripes: Turns get a little rodeo-cowboy in serious chop." |
