    Rossignol Hero Elite ST Ti / Head E-Race Pro / Stockli Laser SC

    I tried the Rossignol Hero Elite ST Ti's (167cm) and Head E-Race Pro's (170cm) this weekend at Tremblant's Super Demo day. The conditions were far from ideal for both skis - About 5-10cm of fresh heavy snow which caused the runs to soon become filled with random piles of snow and later moguls...

    Sweet Protection Interstellar goggle

    This is the top-of-the line freeride goggle by Sweet Protection, the brand that arguably makes the best helmets on the market. I have a couple of Sweet helmets that I use and I was excited to try the matching goggle. As expected the google mated very well with my SP Rooster helmet, so far so...

    Individual Review 2018 Head Kore 117 (189cm)

    Ski tested: 2018 Head Kore 117 (189 length, 117 mm underfoot, turn radius ca. 24m. One sentence review: This ski will defy your expectations; yet it nails the “resort powder ski formula”. First, thanks to BlueZone Sports in Truckee for a chance to take out their demo pair. For the past 7-8...

    The Numbers Game: Skis

    Not much spoils fun more than logic: logic is the antithesis of fun. Numbers are logic, numbers are not fun. I hear numbers being thrown out like 14.5, 98, 131, 177 -- and I am sure 94.5% of the people reading this know exactly what each of those numbers represents. But what does each of those...

    2017 Skis: What Are Your Questions?

    While we have been busy compiling our reviews, from thumbnails to full long term tests, we are sure you have some questions. What will the new Kastle MX84 and MX89 be like? With all these manufacturers offering new skis in the 80mm catagory, what are the standouts? Is 88mm the new 98mm for "one...

    Individual Review Long Term Test: 2017 DPS Foundation Wailer F112RP2

    Quick impressions from a few runs on the new 112 foundation ski which is essentially a storied Wailer 112 in the new Foundation construction, heavier and cheaper than the regular 112RP Wailer 112 was and remains a huge hit for DPS, so looks like the extended it to the mid-range Foundation line...

    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...

    Individual Review Long-Term Test: 2017 Renoun Z-77 Proto

    Backstory: If you reference the other Renoun reviews, the Z-90 and Endurance 98 V2 and the first incarnation of the Endurance 98, you will see that we are very impressed with what Cyrus Schenk is building. To reiterate, Renoun is using a proprietary material called Hyper Damping Technology™...

    Fischer Motive 95 Ti 2015 - 168cm or 174cm?

    I've skied on 2015 Fischer Progressor 900's (170cm) for 15 days now, and I am very happy with them as all-around groomer zoomers. They feel like a very quick GS ski but do better than a real race ski in varied terrain and conditions. They love to be laid over hard and have a very high speed...

    Individual Review Kastle FX95hp review

    Due to apparent Pugski limitations on message size, it will be posted in two parts. PART 1: INTRO, SHAPE, and DESIGN. There is no free lunch, even for a Kastle's latest $1K+ all-mountain "sword." So, for the past couple of weekends, I have been getting acquainted with a certain...

    Individual Review DPS Wailer 112RP2 Pure 184, quick impressions

    Got a chance to ski these boards last Sun at Sugar Bowl. I own a 190 version of the first generation of Wailer 112RP, so I was curious how the second generation compares. I skied the Pure version before and actually preferred the heavier Hybrid construction for its damper feel on snow. Again...

    Comparison Review Wet Noodle slapdown: Rossi Soul 7 vs Stockli SR 95 comparison

    About me Me, AARP candidate, 170 lbs 5'7". Legs are my best feature, but they are weaker than they should be. Been skiing for a long time, never raced and I have craploads of bad technique which gets absurdly worse if the snow turns to crap. I like quick turns on piste and a slalom type of ski...

    International (Europe/Japan/Southern Hemisphere) Alleghe

    Alleghe is one of the smaller resorts that is part of the enormous Dolomiti Super Ski region. The village lies beneath the immensely impressive Civetta mountain which turns the most incredible red color when the sun goes down in the evening. Years ago, a land shift caused the formation of a lake...
