I really really like this ski as a one quiver ski for the backcountry skier. At 115 in the waist this ski is fat enough for the deepest of days yet not so big that you won't take it on long tours. At a pound or so lighter than the Megawatt the Justice gets around the backcountry nicely. The Justice is a super friendly ski for skiers of all levels. It is a fairly straight ski so it likes to be buttered around turns rather than carved. The reasonable size and weight make this my ski of choice for all but the very longest tours.

Seems lots of folks were scared of the megawatt's girth, so BD created it's bad ass lil bro, the Justice. I think they nailed it! For shorter lighter skiers anyway (I'm 6'2" 190lbs). The short length was an issue for me in variable conditions and at speed. But I think this may be the quiver of one many have been looking for. It's fat enough for the deepest pow day, light enough to tour into the deep recesses and the smaller tip allows them to swing around quickly in tight chutes. I spent last witnter product testing it and found it to be one of the best all around tools I've tried. Hoping for a 195cm next season!

This ski has strayed a little from the usual stiffness of other BD freeride skis. This makes it an ideal all mountain/pow ski for anyone. With a nice fat early rise tip it has no problem staying afloat in deep light pow. Another great thing about this ski is that it is a bit lighter than other BD freeride models. This makes it ideal for anyone who is looking for a fat backcountry touring setup. With a bright red topsheet and playful flex this is a great choice.

The Justice is definitely a great ski, especially for touring and pow skiing. I never really liked the megawatt and the Justice is a smaller, more manageable version. Its not that I dont like the Justice, I just prefer the Zealot. The Zealot is the bomb. The Justices are a bit squirrely, I think due to the soft tail and the way it narrows out, theres just not much support in the tail and as a telemarker I really like a stiff and supportive tail. I also like camber and side cut to rip through crud and not just skip across it like I do on the megawatts and justices. If you dont like going really fast the Justice might be the ski for you.

Just had two great days ripping some early season pow in the Southern Rockies (near Fernie) on my new BD Justice skis...very impressive...quick, playfull, short or long turns, slow ...fast, pow, wind affected.... they do it all. Not too heavy for the walk up.

I notice the 175 Justice specs are off by a little... even on the BD website (unless you dig deep). The pair I've got are marked on the sidewall (cap): 138-111-123 and I weight them at just over 8 lbs. or about 3700g per pair.

These are really sweet skis, perfect for that Dynafit 110 brake and some deep powder touring! 125mm skins will work fine.
