I have found that the baker light is just that, light. The Karhu jak (vs. the jak bc) had way more umphh to it than this ski will. The Baker light skis way softer for sure. If you liked the jak and how it skied, try the new Karhu Spire or Storm for a little fatter ski.My 2 cents: these Mt Bakers are super light -- especially if you go with dynafits. I've skied some long 45-50 degree ski shots with these skis. I actually think they ski quite well. Pretty wide in the tip so they keep you on top when it's deep. Good sidecut so they hold well on sketchy wind blown summits.
