When Izzy got the opportunity to guide in Japan, we were her next call and we got started on the perfect one ski quiver for her to work and play! Her idea was simple: a quiver killer, to ride well from December to March. Wide enough to float, but thin enough to put on edge. Light enough to move efficiently uphill, but heavy enough to push through crud and carry well at high speed. At 110mm underfoot the Japow is on the narrower side for a dedicated powder ski, however, paired generous tip and tail rocker and a fairly wide tip and tail, this ski floats like a dream, and maintains its responsiveness  when the urge to lay it over strikes!

  • Izzy Holmes

    Izzy Holmes grew up racing gates in the shadow of Cannon Mountain, patrolled after college, and then paused a path toward med school to ask a harder question: what if she used the best shape of her life to become a mountaineer instead? She's spent the years since becoming a mountain guide, splitting her calendar between California, Washington, and Japan and living out of a duffel bag more than a closet.

    These days she's working toward flight nursing for big mountain expeditions, one more step in a path that's never really changed direction, just added altitude. Her need for a big mountain quiver-killer became the vision behind our Signature Custom Pro Japow.
