I've had a pair of whipits for 2 seasons and they've held up pretty well with only a few edge cracks (I ski probably 80% rails). They are my favourite park skis I've had so far because they have a good pop and flex and are pretty light.

You had J skis and liked them. why are you asking for others opinions? If they worked for you and you liked them, that's all that matters

Glad to see all the positive feedback from y'all and just wanted to chime in with some updated info about the Whipit! This year we have softened its flex pattern to make it more butter friendly. To help improve topsheet durability we have switched over to a gloss layer topsheet that has helped improve top sheet chipping from things like hitting trees, your skis together, and rail contact. In regards to those that have dealt with issues regarding durability we do offer a 1 year warranty that covers manufacturing defects so if your ski breaks in a way that is a result of error on our end we will replace them. As we go into our 6th season in business our skis have definitely improved the construction of Jskis since their debut in 2013. Our customer service team is happy to talk to you about any other questions you have, hit us up at info@jskis.com or stop by the website to talk to us in real time.

Seriously? Why don't you hit up barilla and literally turn it into a noodle. Felt like that ski was going to fold up and hit me in the face in moguls.

If you want a noodle get an Allplay ski is just about made of butter. We wanted to maintain the Whipit's classic Popsicle feel, but were aware it was a little to stiff for what we wanted it to be.
