    Cage Match Comparison 2020 Liberty V92 vs 2020 Salomon QST 92

    Yes, Liberty is the overnight success that started well over a decade ago but really caught our attention last season with the oh-sooo-good V-Series collection, with its Vertical Metal Technology construction and unique low-rise tip with a good amount of flare (… and more than just 15 pieces of...

    Cage Match Comparison 2020 Fischer RC One GT 86 Multiflex vs 2020 Salomon S/Force Bold

    Here is the Cage Match I have had more than a few requests for, the Fischer RC One GT Multiflex and the Salomon S/Force Bold, two new skis that have been the topics of many preseason discussions. Honestly, I think it is a Cage Match that is going to disappoint many here in that these skis are...

    Comparison Review Ron’s 2020 Reviews 89mm and Narrower: The Way I Ski It

    Individual Review Long-Term Review: 2019 Salomon S/Max Blast

    Salomon knows how to make hard-snow skis; we just wish it would offer them on a more consistent basis. Since wishing is not a good business plan, we are going to light a fire under the consumer's ass and create some awareness of the all-new S/Max collection from Salomon, specifically its halo...

    Cage Match Comparison 2019 Dynastar Speed Zone 12 vs 2019 Salomon S/Max 12

    One thing we can say here at Pugski.com is that we do love them there hard-snow skinny-type skis. This comparison comes from the people who give us toast, fries, and kisses -- yes, we are talking about the French. Dynastar quietly introduced the Speed Zone 12 a few seasons back, and it is a ski...

    Head Monster 83 or Salomon X Drive 80 ti?

    I am an advanced level Australian recreational skier. If finances line up I may be looking to do some ski instructing over either the coming season, or the one after (initially full time over school holidays and probably casual thereafter). I'm looking to buy a ski devoted to "front side...

    Cage Match Comparison 2018 Dynastar Legend X96 vs Salomon QST 99

    Vive la France. The French have never subscribed to the “me too" school of ski design, or really anything else in the industry. They also have never been afraid to take chances: external dampening with Prolink, monocoque constructions, Omega cores, asymmetrical ID shapes, different sidewall...

    Now that you've read about my thoughts on skinny skis in the Sub-73mm reviews, it's time to give the wider skis some attention. Armada Trace 98 Dimensions: 130-98-121 Radius: 17.5m@172cm Size tested: 172 Design: All New This new lineup from Armada, which features its crystal mesh, is one of...

    Cage Match Comparison 2017 Atomic Vantage 100 CTi vs 2017 Salomon QST 99

    Yes, Salomon and Atomic are both under the Amer Group umbrella, which means there are a lot of people who don’t care which of these skis you buy as long as you buy one of them. Since I am moonlighting at a shop, I get to go to manufacturer clinics, and we just had our Atomic and Salomon...

    Individual Review 2017 Salomon QST 99 Review

    We just put together a review of the new 2017 Salomon QST 99. I had a ton of fun skiing these. Really playful, smears turns really well. It's one of those skis that does everything well and doesn't really have any significant downsides. Definitely more on the playful side. Click the image...
