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...

Looks like Lindsey Vonn had a social media outburst after her ski came off in a race, smashing her bindings with a hammer. Head's racing director expressed displeasure with Vonn's actions, saying that this is serious and there will be discussion about this at Head. Vonn has a 10 year contract...

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...

This the first of many overviews of the upcoming 2017 ski offerings. These purpose-built designs want to be on firm snow and skied primarily on edge. After you buy one of these skis, and before it even touches the snow, give it some proper attention in the form of an aggressive tune. By this I...

I have my first teaser on the front page here SIA PREVIEW. Here are a few more to fill in the blanks... Blizzard Quattro Blizzard is returning to its roots and bringing back the "Quattro" name in an all-new frontside collection. Just as it did by offering the Mach 1 boot in narrow and medium...

I need some help with thoughs if I should buy new skis for my oldest or wait. This stuff is not cheap. My oldest son now 12+ has growed a little bit more than anticipated. Some basics: 153 cm, 95lbs Advanced skier prefers soft snow in the trees and wants to start to explore the backcountry...

My wife is currently skiing on some old 159 Salomon Siam 10 pilots (76 mm wide) that she has been quite happy with but they are getting a little tired. She is not interested in having a quiver and want one ski that she can use reasonably well all over the mountain. She is 5'4", 120 lb and...

For those who don't already know, Bode Miller has signed on to be an analyst for NBC Sports at this weekend's World Cup DH, SG, and GS races at Beaver Creek. He will be the POV camera for NBC, and thus is forerunning all of the training runs with the competitors. This is the first active race...

If you could build your three ski quiver but only get to choose one manufacturer, who would you choose and what would that quiver consist of?

In skis...The question is, should two ski models that have the same identical construction cost different amounts the they do not charge more for different length skis? You have two models, one is 88mm underfoot ant the other is 98mm. The 88mm ski is priced at $649 and the 98mm is priced at...

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...

What skis have you had that were so good that you either stock piled or after you wore them out and just replaced them with the same ski again. Early on: Salomon 9000 3S, when slalom skis were still over 200cm...err PR8 in Salomon-ese Dynastar Course SL, light, lively but had to be replaced...

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...

Just got back from the demos at Loveland. Wanted to try possible replacements for two of my go-to skis: my everyday teaching skis (versatile, but biased toward the frontside with a waist around 80) that I can comfortably ski all day for six days straight(!) and a possible replacement for my...

It always comes up in comparisons. Two skis that either come out of the same factory or are under the same ownership umbrella. What are some of the common ones that go up against each other and which do you prefer and why? Nordica Enforcer v. Blizzard Bonafide (suggested by @Jed Peters) Just...

In this, the second season of Head’s breakthrough line that changed how women looked at Head Skis, we take a closer look at the 2016 Great Joy. At 98mm underfoot, this ski is in a category that some women may overlook, but that is a mistake in my book. While many of the 98mm segment tends to be...

What better ski to review on Halloween than a Monster. Head resurrects the infamous Monster name in this stellar new series of skis. The engineers at Head have built a very clear collection of skis with the Monsters; just as you pick a ski length by your size, your pick a Monster by its width...
