Black Diamond 2011/2012 Justice Skis - REVIEW

  • 2011-05-14 15:28:42

    Black Diamond Justice SkisRecently, Backcountryskiingcanada.com received a set of the new 2011/2012 Black Diamond Justice Skis to review and with the never-ending winter we’ve had in BC, we jumped on them right away. First impressions are always important, and the Justice didn’t disappoint.

    The Black Diamond Justice are an almost entirely new ski, utilizing Paulownia wood and carbon in the core Black Diamond has been able to reduce the weight of the Justice by a full pound. Now part of Black Diamond’s new “Efficient” series, they are a wide (112mm underfoot for the 175cm length version we skied, 115mm underfoot at 185cm) and relatively light (3.6 kg / 8lb per pair at 175cm) backcountry slaying sticks.
