"Carrying on in the tradition of the Mojo, Jimi is a solid wood core twin that is built for industrial use. Despite its size, the Jimi is surprisingly skiable on groomed snow thanks to a small amount of camber and sidecut underfoot. That should be an important consideration in choosing one of these big boards because unless you live at a cat-skiing lodge, you will have to deal with packed snow at some point. Without some design feature to deal with the inevitable it will feel like you have cafeteria trays on your feet which can really take the fun out of the run back to the lifts. Jimi can handle the packed but really shone in the huge soft bumps and tree skiing at Big White. If you are looking for a stable and versatile big twin the Jimi 110 is a good choice."
