Today I skied and tested the "Jam" by "Movement". I skied the 182cm it's a 135- 84-117 shape in that length. 17 meter radius and it turns tighter carves than the Peak 78 or Monster 78. The 172 is a 16 meter turn radius and it makes even tighter turns. This will ski like a Shamon in powder, but it rocks great turns on hard groomers, and it holds on hard snow without bucking your knees.. I skied crud and it busted right through. I have a pair now and am bringing them to Europe.Today I skied and tested the "Jam" by "Movement".

HH mentions the Jam as an all around ski, or phrased differently, a ski that can be used in all conditions. Notice that he compared it to the IM78 and the IM84, skis HH really likes but doesn't suggest as a standard daily PMTS learning ski. At 82mm at the waist the Jam will still take more tipping effort than a ski with a waist in the 65-70mm range. And since most of us need to increase our tipping skills the SS and TT80 are likely the better choice for learning and perfecting PMTS movements. So, the Jam ends up being a great compliment to those skis for someone that wants to ski all over the mountain.
HH:
Let me clear this up, you have to be a competent at carving or brushing connected short turns to make this an every day ski; as it requires speed and energy to be tipped. It's not a slow speed learning ski. It's too wide for that. So it does not replace a TT80 or Super Shape for learning purposes. Put in other words, you have to be ale to make a flexing or retraction short turn to use this ski without being forced into either huge turns or really skidded short turns. That said it is a great intro to powder skiing ski. Hard to say, as I skied totally different snow on each. The Jam is wider at the tip and tail, so it will float and ski more like a shaped ski in Powder. I was surprised how well it tipped on packed snow, it was easier to carve than the Titan and the Elan Apex, which is an 88cm ski. I'll probably be able to test them side buy side, after I return from Europe.
