I'm looking to get a new set for this upcoming season. I've skied Atomics most of my adult life and like the way they hold on the East coast snow/ice, but the Smoke Ti(s) are getting long in the tooth and I thought I'd upgrade. So, reading all kinds of reviews and talking with more...

Hi! So, I have been skiing on some older Kästles, old Volkl Racing Skis, and some also old Head Racing skis. While I am pretty happy with my setup, at the end of this 2016-2017 started to demo a lot of skis with the intentions to buy a pair and, needless to say I had some great times with some...

Blizzard Bonafide Dimensions: 135-98-119 Radius: 18m@180cm Sizes: 166, 173, 180, 188 Size tested: 180 Design: All New Drahtguy Kevin: A new tip and tighter radius make this perennial powerhouse better for more skiers. The carbon tip leads the ski confidently into the turn, and the same reliable...

We are now going to compare two of the more established reference skis from the “Crazy 88s,” as Sierra Jim has described the category. While they have many similarities in flex patterns and stiffness, that is where their likenesses end. These two skis have very different feels and purposes on...

So in this Cage Match, we are matching the varsity quarterback against the prep-school crew captain. Yes, both, are athletic, smart, and segment leaders, but it’s how they approach and display their talents that separates them. Thank you @TimF for the suggestion. Walk into the Wobbly Barn...

Hey PugSki! We just finished up a review of the 2017 Brahma. The ski, as I'm sure you all know, has been given the Carbon Flipcore update we saw on the Bonafide and Cochise this season. We had a lot of fun testing the new version up at Stowe. Click the image for the full review. Enjoy!

I'm new here and I wanted to get some advice on those two models to compliment my salomon q labs.

OK, I'm not good w/ format, hopefully you don't mind (Phil) if I just ramble through the impressions of some of the skis I skied on at the Mt Rose shop demo... First off, I want to comment on perspective, and this may tie in with the "ski review bias" thread. the ski you normally ski on and how...

Here it is: our new "performance" rental/demo for 2017. It is basically a current Black Pearl, but labeled the Brahma Rental. Doesn't it seem like the perfect ski for that moderately technical skier who skis 5-10 days a year? Why isn't Blizzard offering this ski in retail channels? The Brahma...

Living in the 80s isn't all about neon and Miami Vice. The 80-90mm category is going to be one of the most contested segments going into the 2016-2017 buying season. There is a ski here for everyone. You want something pure hard snow? It is here. You want something that is more off-piste...

Let me begin by stating my tree skiing experience is very limited, as my home Pa. ski mountain has almost no tree skiing. What little they have also is a magnet for creating rock skis. My experience is mostly on western trips and then mostly in older snow glades. So, making turns around trees...

While I was on the lift today I was thinking about thread ideas and this came up. What skis have you been on that either have lived up to their hype and made you think, Day-um, these really are THAT good. Enforcer, skied it today and my lust for it has carried over from last season. Monster 88...

The 88-90mm All-Mountain category is one of the most popular, yet "all mountain" has different meanings to different skiers. In this case, any of these skis could be the foundation of an eastern or western quiver. As the season progresses, we should see some of them in Long-Term Tests. Snippets...
