    Tell me your experiences with these "resort powder" skis.

    I’ve been dealing with (read: SPENDING) a local ski shop that has done me right at every turn in my (our) recent return to skiing. I have asked them for advice on a “resort powder” ski for someone like me who is at best an intermediate but someone who hasn’t skied in a very long time that I can...

    Comparison Review A Layman's Look at 2020 Skis

    Blizzard Brahma, or, will my quiver overlap too much?

    Hey skipeople, I unloaded all of my last season skis at a ski swap this weekend, so I'm on to my changes for this year. I'm thinking a quiver like this: Frontside/bumps/carving ski. I'm not a great carver and just an ok bumps skier, my main goal for this season is to be the best skier I can...

    Comparison Review A Layman's Look at 2019 Skis from SIA Copper

    While looking toward SIA this year, many of us had a feeling of impending doom, thanks to an uncooperative gulfstream (or whatever was keeping snow away from Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico…). Would we be able to do justice to any review of wider, off-piste skis? Pleeeeease? Yes, just. Copper...

    Nordica Santa Ana 100 vs Blizzard Sheeva 10

    Anyone skied both of these with a comparison to share? I'd love to see a cage match between the two. Enforcer/Rustler 10 comparison would work too. Both options sound like one quiver setup for the PNW. Thanks!
