Blizzard Rustler 9 Skis · 2023
The Blizzard Rustler 9 remains one of the most versatile skis on the planet. A narrower freeride ski with an all-mountain character, the Rustler 9 carves better than expected while remaining an excellent soft-snow performer and a true master of off-piste terrain and conditions. Built with a wood core consisting of beech, poplar, balsa, and paulownia, we get a blend of attributes that lead to the well-rounded nature of the ski. Two sheets of carbon/fiberglass add stiffness and energy while a single, partial sheet of metal brings the dampness and edge grip to the equation. The metal laminate is full-width underfoot and tapers to the tips and tails, ending precisely where the rocker begins. This leads to a playful feel and a lighter swing weight in the tips and tails while keeping the underfoot/middle-zone of the ski a bit more business-like. This is one of those skis, that if you don’t know what you want, the Rustler 9 is as good a choice as any.













Rossignol Sender 90 Pro Skis + Xpress 10 GW Bindings · 2024
This ski is for the intermediate skier who want to go all-mountain. It's a bit more optimized for off-piste than staying on the groomers but it can handle both with ease. This is great if you plan on spending time off the groomed runs and going out to explore. The bindings that come with this ski are demo-style bindings which means if you have to switch boots you can keep using the same ski, no matter what. Definitely geared toward an intermediate skier looking to advance their skiing. Great price for the binding/ski package!

Rossignol Rallybird 90 Pro Skis + Xpress W 10 GW Bindings · Women's · 2024
The Rossignol Rallybird 90 is a lightweight and energetic freeride ski made for intermediate-advanced lady skiers who want a playful ski that can handle a variety of conditions. At 90mm wide, the Rallybird performs well in soft snow and off trail, while still getting edge to edge quick, and being plenty capable of linking tight turns on the hard pack. Paired with the Xpress 10 GW bindings, this is a great daily driver set up for skiers looking for versatility and playfulness in a lightweight package.

K2 Mindbender 90C Skis · 2023
Without any metal, this skis keeps things light and playful while the carbon braid and strips stiffen the mid section of the ski for grip and edge control. The loosening of the braids at the tip and tail soften the flex and make this ski incredibly fun off-piste, in light powder, trees, and moguls. Great for the less aggressive skier who wants both a ski that can perform on the blue and blacks but has the versatility to jump into those side hits when they call. Skiers looking for a versatile ride that remains stable and nimble in a variety of terrain and conditions!

Völkl Revolt 95 Skis · 2023
It takes a lot of self-control on my end to not buy the Revolt. With a tip to tail rocker, the Revolt 95's are a very playful ski that combines a multilayer wood core and full sidewalls to create a great a very impressive performance. A high density and molecular polyethylene base are included to give the ski power and energy as you head down the hill, as well as great gliding characteristics that won't disappoint when you're trying to keep up with the pack. They are great for jibbing around the mountain as well as hitting those jumps in the park. Check out the X Games and you'll see a lot of skiers on these bad boys!

Line Pandora 94 Skis · Women's · 2023
The Line Pandora 94 is a lightweight all mountain ski designed to keep the weight down and the fun up!

Dynastar M-Menace 90 Open Skis · 2023
The Dynastar Menace is a great all-mountain ski that will perform in a variety of conditions! At 90mm underfoot and a rocker/camber/rocker profile, there's enough floatation for the occasional powder day, but it's still narrow enough for versatility and performance on groomers, packed snow, trees - you name it!

Great all-mountain, a resort-focused ski that will hold up in any conditions and offer a very versatile ski. A poplar wood core which will have you feeling like this ski can handle anything: will absorb any sort of crud on the trail, be elastic enough that you can really push its turning ability, and won't be too heavy in general. The cap construction on this will make it feel lighter while not giving up any of that stability and control you will find in a heavier ski. It will initiate turns well and go from edge to edge with ease.

Great carving ski for someone looking to progress their ski but can also be used in the backcountry. Dynamic and flexible, made for a lighter skier. Very versatile, making it a great ski for all kinds of conditions.

Line Honey Badger Skis · 2023
These certainly lean more towards a park ski with a playful feel, low weight and symmetrical flex but have great qualities to take out on the rest of the mountain! Early rise tips and tails helps keep you afloat in deeper snow while the thin tip design reduces the tip weight but 100grams making those 180's a walk in the park! 5 Cut side radius allows for a variety of turn shapes and sizes with ease while carbon stringers in the ski give you that extra energy to launch from edge to edge or get that little extra pop when you launch off a jump! Lastly they have 30% thicker edges to be able to handle some rails and harder skiing.

The Line Honey Badger is a ski designed to live up to its namesake. The honey badger is fierce, aggressive, and can take a beating, and the same is true for this ski. Built for those who push the limits in the park, on resort side hits, and during their local urban staircase sessions, these skis are made to survive anything. At 92mm underfoot and featuring a full twin tip with symmetric flex, these skis are meant for the dedicated park skier.

K2 Mindbender 90C Skis · Women's · 2023
the Mindbender 90C is geared toward women skiers wanting to build their skills off trail and in more technical terrain, but want to do without the added weight of metal in their ski. By using Carbon Fiber filaments as opposed to metal in the frame of the 90C, K2 keeps the ski lightweight and nimble, yet surprisingly stiff and confidence-inspiring in rougher snow due to the carbon. But yet, it can still turn a dime when you need it to!

Völkl Blaze 94 Skis · 2023
The Blaze 94 was crafted with Volkl's quintessential edge hold and precision feel. Known for being stable and damp with titinal underfoot you can carve this ski on groomers or head off-piste in search of left over powder. With 3D radius technology this ski is intuitive and makes variable turns depending on speed and terrain. Truly a versatile ski!

These are a perfect ski if you want to do mainly resort skiing with the occasional day of touring! Lightweight, yet powerful and stable, to ski as hard as you want! One of my favorite features on these is the 3D radius sidecut that allows for varying turn size and shape with ease all from the same ski for unmatch maneuverability!

Völkl Blaze 94 Skis · 2022
Lightweight performance ski that's happy everywhere from ice to powder! A solid hybrid touring ski or happy just as a daily driver. Volkl's 3D radius for intuitive and easy turning at any speed, wide enough to float.

Elan Ripstick 94 W Skis · Women's · 2024
The Elan Ripsticks seemingly defy physics: How does such an incredibly lightweight ski turn so effectively and hold such a strong edge?? Elan lays down carbon rods through the length of the Ripstick to give it incredible torsional strength as you lay arcing turns down groomers and ice. But with a 94 mm waist, the Ripstick is just as capable of venturing off-piste through trees and surfing over soft snow. The Ripstick is incredibly light, maneuverable, and fun ski that can appeal to both upper intermediates all the way to experts. Its a ski that doesn't ask too much of you, but gives a whole lot in return!

Anyone and everyone can have fun on this ski. Its reinforced inside edge makes the ski want to turn rather than not to. This ski seriously seems to ski itself. It's light, fun, and responsive great for the entire mountain

Salomon Stance 90 Skis · 2023
If you want to ski moguls one run, then hit a fast groomer the next and lap your favorite tree run after lunch then this is the ski for you. Salomon does it again and packs versatility, stability and responsiveness all into a ski that will go bell to bell no matter the conditions. A polar core adds durability and is light with a poppy nature. Titaial and carbon in the ski smooth out the ride and have a forgiving nature. A middle of the road flex adds to the versatility. Load up the ski and get some pop then lean them over and crack and they will remain stiff enough through hard turns.

The Salomon Stance is the anti-thesis to Salomon's popular QST line: Whereas the QST is playful and nimble, the Stance is built more for driving trenches down the fall line on groomed runs and hardpack. The Stance sports two layers of metal to give it extra strength and stability, but Salomon milled out the metal in the front and rear of the ski to keep it lighter and a bit more approachable. The Stance is a daily driver for skiers looking for a confident ski that can rip up groomed runs at high speed.

Nordica Santa Ana 93 Skis · Women's · 2023
A combination of a damp construction and a freeride shape makes for a ski that you can push when you want to, without demanding expert level skiing 24/7. Featuring Nordica's Terrain Specific Metal, the 93 has plenty of metal to dampen the skis for a smoother and more consistent ride in variable conditions, but has targeted zones of less metal for greater flexibility. This makes for a more energetic ride, and keeps things a little more fun and playful when you do get some softer snow or want to dip off trail. 93mm underfoot means the ski is quick edge to edge and easy to maneuver in bumps or trees.

Völkl Blaze 94 W Skis · Women's · 2023
This is an agile resort ski that you could also take to the backcountry considering its light weight. Metal underfoot and suspension tech in the tips and tails should give you the confidence you need to stay on edge while not having to fight the ski to turn. At only 1427g, this is a light ski with a short turn radius. It should be a blast!

An amazing all-mountain ski that is lightweight enough for true alpine touring, but still stable for handling the hardpack. Great flotation in a 94 underfoot ski, with the well known performance of Volkl.

Fischer Ranger 94 FR Skis · 2022
Fun, versatile, and super stable underfoot, these are go-anywhere machines with east or west coast 94 underfoot width. Air Tec titanal laminate and a carbon nose keeps these light but responsive, making these a great ski for on and off-piste performance.

The 94 FR is a slightly narrower, more versatile version of the playful Ranger 102 FR, providing a quicker edge to edge transition. That being said, these perform the best off the trail, but still deliver a quality edge on hard packed groomer days.

All mountain skiing, Groomers, and light to mid-level powder!

Atomic Maven 93 C Skis · Women's · 2023
Lightweight, but still very capable on hardpack, the Maven is an advanced ski that loves to jump off into back bowls, moguls, trees, and side-hits. But don't let the low swing weight fool you, the Poplar core combined with triaxial fiberglass and carbone weave gives this great stability.

Salomon Stance W 94 Skis · Women's · 2023
Brand new for 2021 the stance is one of the most reactive skis in it's class. This ski is a wood core with a titanal metal sheet over the top giving it incredible responsiveness and edge to edge ability. This ski handles crud like a queen and is much lighter than most others at this width.

Its lightweight construction makes it quick and reactive on varying terrain but this ski also likes to rip! Charging groomers and going fast is in its makeup! Although it has a very stable build, the ski is very capable in the bumps and trees with the right driver!

Mellow groomers, POWDER, and all around good times!
