Jobe slalom skis

[jeff shelton]

I used to slalom ski alot until I started barefooting in 99. I was travelling for work and was sking a friends Obrien TRC and haven't slalom skied since but I always had Jobe.

I started skiing an old Obrien competitor that my uncle had loaned me to learn on. A friend had a Jobe 1300 that I started using when I went with him. After using his I purchased a Jobe 1200. I used it couple yrs and the top layer peeled back. I was able to send it to Jobe and they covered it under warranty. The 1200 was no longer available and I was able to upgrade to the 1600 for difference in the cost of the two. I later sold the 1600 and got the Jobe next.

Who used to ski Jobe?
Why did you change skis?
How are the new Jobe skis compared to others?
