The versatile and high-energy Justice ski from Black Diamond compensates you for all those seasons of busting powder a top less than ideal skis. With a rockered tip profile, 115 mm of underfoot float, and minimal camber, these all-mountain riders are ideal for the "everyman" skier, from entry-level to weekend warrior. f09 newski Specifications based on 185 centimeter length.
The new "Justice" received a 2009 Backcountry magazine Editor's Choice award because it is less specific and more versatile than a Megawatt. Based off some of the characteristics of the Megawatt, the Justice has a little less aggressive rocker tip profile, which helps make it a more "everyman" all-mountain ski. The powder geometry and a minimal camber, enables it to plow through crud and corn as well. The Justice is built using the Formula One Technology combined with Black Diamond 3D dampening, a double Torsion Box and a Power Edge which distributes power far into the tips and the tails of the ski. This keeps the tip and tail lively and energized as well as maintaining the torsional rigidity to carve and conquer just about all backcountry conditions. The 3D CNC popular wood core, and high strength micro-laminates produce a "solid" ride. Dimensions vary by length to accommodate different weight skiers.
Do you want the powder-shredding skillz provided by the BD Megawatts, but need a more versatile ski for those not-so-powdery days? Black Diamond’s Justice all-mountain skis are just what the doctor ordered. These rocker-tipped beasts will float over the deepest powder, but also rock the rest of the mountain without hesitation. A machined poplar core with Torsion Box construction and Formula One Technology keeps things poppin’ either on or off the piste. Lady Justice would be proud.

Surf-o-licious!!!! | |
| Rating: |  |
I love these skis in their conditions. They are wide, fairly soft and really, really playful. In excellent snow conditions, they bouncily weaved the trees as well as stabley cruised GS turns. Very confidence building ski. You can make them work in anything, but the width, rocker, flex, and minimal sidecut favor surfy, deep conditions and crud. They are also a good weight for touring. This could be a one quiver ski if you lived in SLC, Jackson, or some comparable local. I live in CO and they are my touring and deep snow ski, but I have a stiffer ski for everyday stuff and/light powder. I was initially looking at getting the BD Megawatt, but then went with something a bit more versatile and less specialized. Hope this is helpful. | |

Nice but not my favorite | |
| Rating: |  |
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. | |

Sweet Justice | |
| Rating: | |
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! | |

Justice for all conditions | |
| Rating: | |
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. | |

Solid powder ski... | |
| Rating: | |
I rode the Justice on several powder days in Colorado (the few we have had) and they are awesome in the powder. Some of the best performance I have seen out of a ski with these dimensions. However, that is about all they are good for...powder. They are squirrely on the groomers and in the chop at speed. They are ubder flexy in the tips, so going through anything but powder can be dicey, but managable, at speed. They aren't great on anything firm. It is, as Black Diamond said, a backcountry powder ski, but definetly limited in all other departments. | |

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. | |

I'm in love. | |

I've had so much fun on these this season. Very light for how wide they are, which can cause some shakiness in the crud, but they handle decently on groomers and absolutely kill it in any soft snow or pow conditions. Was a little nervous about going for the 185 but the rocker makes them ski much shorter, I'm 5'11", 150lbs and they feel just right. Mounted them up with Fritschis and have skied them exclusively both in the resort and the backcountry. | |

Justice Specs | |
| Rating: | |
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. | |

Black Diamond Justice Skis Rip | |
| Rating: | |
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. | |

Rockered tip = go fast | |
| Rating: | |
Just spent 5 days skiing on the justices outside of Revelstoke BC. The slightly rockered tip is the ticket. You can pretty much point 'em and blaze through all snow conditions. The Justice is also fairly light and comes right around quickly. This is definitely my powder and touring ski of choice. | |
