    Looking for Recommendations on New All-Mountain Skis

    Howdy, short time lurker as I just found this site which is awesome! I’m somewhere between an advanced-intermediate to an advanced skier on groomers, light chop and fresh snow. I hard charge down blues but am much more conservative going down blacks. I’ve started to ski gullies and off-piste...

    Point a 52 year old snowboarder toward next set of all mountain skis please!

    I need new skis. Snowboarded regularly (some 50 day seasons) from 1983 until end of last season, high competence but not a full on killer. Tore a hamstring and discovered that skiing didn't hurt it, so started skiing in April last year. I've skied 12 days now. Last day was at Red Mountain BC...

    Looking for advice deciding between skis

    Hi Pugski community, sometime reader, first time poster looking to choose a ski in the next few days. So the background is that I currently ski in the Northeast (Stowe, Killington, Okemo, Loon, Sunday River at various points depending on which pass I was on) and I'm potentially moving to...

    What skis - once more?

    I am looking to buy skis for the next season, but after reading all kind reviews I am even more confused what to buy. I used to ski as a kid, then I returned to skiing couple years ago, finding real winter fun and enjoyment altogether with my wife and my daughter. We are going twice per season...

    Suggestions for Taos-specific used skis?

    Howdy: I'm a longtime Colorado Epic skier who now has access to a free place to stay in Taos and a season pass. It's been fun this year exploring the chutes and trees of Taos. But it's clear my Colorado gear (several FIS skis SL and GS and a 190 cm 110 underfoot powder ski) are not ideal for...

    Help me choose my next ski (Enforcer/Rustler)

    Hey guys, thanks for all the content you put out here. It's a great source of information. I spend a lot of time here lately. My question is as follows: I'm a 5'10" 240-pound nearly-advanced groomer skier, strong and fairly athletic despite my weight (I do hit the gym, squat and deadlift north...

    Cage Match Comparison 2019 Rossignol Experience 94 Ti and 2019 Völkl Mantra M5 vs The World

    After we requested ideas for Cage Matches, many asked us to compare this against the new Rossignol Experience 94 Ti or that against the new Völkl Mantra M5. So we decided that instead of doing a bunch of one-to-one comparisons, the Rossi and Völkl should take on the world. But first, go back and...

    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...
