getting it all done in one go would be more efficient.

Raise it to $16 and I'll see you in a month.
 
You say there is no skiing involved, but would somebody be allowed to wear their ski gear to work? You know, simply to keep things feeling casual? Staring through my goggles with my toes snug in the front of my boots is where I'm at my best. I don't think that being a skier counts under any religious or cultural laws, but that's when I'm at my best. You also may catch me practicing switch ups on the curbs in the parking lot, but I will keep that to my breaks and lunch time.

Forgot to add, you would be working for both the J and 4FRNT brands. In-depth product knowledge is definitely a must but if you enjoy talking skis and skiing all day, every day this is definitely the gig for you.

Send resume and cover letter to info@jskis.com

Siiiickkk. Dream job. Here's my resume.

The Jskis/4frnt "________" is the most playful charger of a ski that is equally at home at the park and in powder. Stiff enough to rail groomers but a round flex profile that is easy to butter and jib all over the mountain. Made with hi-tech materials such as poplar, maple, and carbon fiber means the ski is built for abuse while being environmentally sustainable.

Cop some Jskis/4frnt™ skis today and be the talk of the liftline

Run that ish on repeat all day. Have your people call my people. I'll start at the crack of noon monday if the bruins win Saturday.

It concerns me that you dont seem to understand that simple black skis are what people want these days. Poachers, Black Ops, the new ARVs, hell even Candides are basically one color with logo.

But hey, keep it up with the hot dogs and kittens shooting lasers out of their eyes! Probably more suited for your target demo.

I'm hyper aware of what everyone else does and I'm not concerned about fitting in at all. If we're wasting our ability as a nimble, independent, direct to consumer brand to do the SAME thing as big publicly owned companies only appealing to shareholders then there's no point to even be in it.

The whole reason I started in the ski industry was because nobody made the product I wanted to ride, so I made it myself. Nobody wants more of the same thing but thanks for the feedback! ?‍♂️

Monday at noon sounds good. Let's get this series in 5!!
 
Are you taking preorders for "_______" yet? I can't miss out on that after hearing what it can do.

Of course! In fact, only a limited quantity of "_______" featuring our latest topsheet collaboration by our favorite in house artist "____" will be produced. These special editions will make sure you're breakin' necks and cashin' checks anywhere it may snow. But hurry! We're only making "(qty)"! Get your preorder in today!
 
I get paid to look at girls in nearly no clothing and work out for more money ill pass. lifeguarding over every other job. Good luck with the search.

Yewww. That’s exactly why I put in. I got offered a job at A basin so if I don’t make the cut I finally have a forsure foot in the door this season which I’m stoked about. Just about to finish up my undergrad degree but since I only have a few classes figured I could take em online plus I’m tired of skiing sierra cement. I want a friend + powder = perfect relationship. But Really love what J does and the love he puts into each ski.

Really dope fouton in the office. We've all slept in here at one point or another
 
How much will you pay me to deliver and assemble a full drop in and rail setup? Dry slope rail sessions have both proven to improve workplace focus, as well as an increase in switch up success rate at about 2-5% per session. I know I would buy skis from a company that advertises "All of our staff has all 8 swap-270's out on lock".

Nothing but if you have a pontoon boat for sale lets talk... can't let this waterfront office space be a waste
