    The first skis you owned

    This thread, Just purchased my very first new pair of Skis - inspired me to dig around for pictures of my first pair of skis. I had skied a handful of times, and knew I wanted to do more. My SO bought me these for Christmas (1985) complete with matching poles. I bought my own boots. - Rear...

    Powell Movement interviews Andy Mahre

    Thanks @PowellMovement for this impromptu interview with Andy Mahre, son of Steve, nephew of Phil. Andy didn't have his contract renewed with K2 and to hear how it happened is pretty disturbing under the circumstances. Listen to the interview, very good and very enlightening and again and I...

    Comparison Review 2017 Tester's Choice

    We started with our ever-popular Steals & Deals, but added a new twist: the first phase of our “Tester's Choice.” Tester's Choice is a compilation of our reviewers' favorite 2017 skis. We will stick with the same categories as Steals & Deals, but these are more often the skis that manufacturers...

    K2, Volkl, Dalbello, Marker, Marmot, Full Tilt and Line..What Does the Future Hold for Them?

    It is sad when you businesses become a "destraction". Read the whole story HERE. This could have a major effect in the ski industry. I know some from K2 that jumped and I know some that were pushed but this could be devastating. K2, Marker and Volkl IMHO still be around in some form...Line...

    A peek into K2's future (2018 Prototypes being tested)

    Sorry for the delay in posting here, smack me with a wet Sweet Luv (see what I did there). This image that was posted on K2's wall a few weeks ago never made it over here do to us having a lot on our plate. But we have a picture from Chile where K2 was testing some of the 2017-18s. Left to...

    Individual Review 2017 K2 Pinnacle 88

    The Pinnacle 88 was one of a few skis that we were able to get in multiple sizes, 177 and 184. It is the 2017 addition to the Pinnacle series, which already included the 95, 105, and 118 (which is based on the old Seth series). The shape of the 88 is very similar to the 95 and 105, but the...

    Individual Review Long-Term Review: 2017 K2 Super Charger

    K2 approached us about helping it promote a model for next season. We discussed the iKonic 85Ti and the new, and very good, Pinnacle 88. These two skis are very important to sales; almost every shop that carries K2 will stock them because, quite frankly, they will sell a lot. Every review site...

    Comparison Review Tricia's Thumbnail Reviews: Sub-90mm Skis, 2016-17

    This is an area that I am really excited about. We had a few years of lean snow in the Tahoe area, which inspired clicking into skis that are leaner and meaner. Let's face it, when the cold smoke runs out and gives way to cream cheese and corduroy, the weapon of choice falls smack dab in the...

    Comparison Review Thumbnail Reviews: 2017 All-Mountain 80-90mm Skis

    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...

    Remembering Ed Chase 1951-2015

    We lost a giant of the ski industry in the past year, the one and only Ed “Sleez” Chase. We all know Phil and Steve Mahre, but they will be the first to tell you that they would not be decorated with medals without the hard work of Sleez. Ed Chase was their personal tuner when they were on the...

    The 95ish trend

    A few short years ago (two to three) the 95ish width skis sorta fell between the cracks. It is a shame because there were some very good ones, like the Salomon Sentinel and Dynastar Legend 94, and even the Kastle FX94 didn't get all the love it deserved. Now this segment is being attacked and...
