K2 Mindbender 108Ti Skis · 2022
They stay true to K2's builds with an energetic frame that will really push into turns and hold an edge on anything. The tip and tail rocker keep you floating on powder and add plenty of maneuverability. Titanium added to the build will ensure that the skis stay stable at any speed. And the cool top sheets don't hurt!
Brand new 2022 model! At 108mm underfoot, these things are made for powder. These are made for hard charging skiers - a bit on the stiffer side with a longer turn radius. All-terrain rocker to help you maneuver through all conditions.
Völkl Blaze 106 Skis · 2023
Super lightweight woodcore. Would make for a great backcountry setup.
K2 Mindbender 106C Alliance Skis · Women's · 2022
A 15 meter radius translates to the ski's capacity to turn on a dime. Furthermore, the carbon construction of these skis ensures they are very lightweight and oriented towards the skier that needs something to point in whatever direction they please without much force. The all terrain rocker allows these skis to float well in fresh snow while maintaining an edge balance on harder conditions.
Absolutely rips in every condition with it’s mid-fat waist, lightweight Aspen Veneer wood core and carbon stringers woven into it which’s adds pop and rebound. This is a lively ski that can handle it all. The all terrain rockers has a gradual rise to the tip allowing it a lot of versatility and with the short, low rise in the tail it has added control in the variable snow.
Excellent handling in a variety of conditions from big powder days to softer snow on the frontside. No metal in these skis makes them playful and surfy, leading to excellent float when you need it. But with K2's carbon fiber weave, these remain torsionally rigid enough to get on edge when the conditions are not perfect or at the end of a day when everything is tracked out.
Elan Ripstick 106 Skis · 2024
Wood tube lite core with carbon rods along the side cut. These are ideal for the skier that spends time on and off the trails. Unique right and left ski from Elan these even at 106mm wide in the waist are easy edge to edge. The inner edges have more camber for holding edge on variable terrain. Where the outer edges have more rocker and help these smear pow turns. With less carbon rods than the Black Edition these will be softer and more forgiving. A great choice for a slightly wider all mountain ski.
Nordica Enforcer 110 Free Skis · 2023
Hitting everywhere on the mountain. From charging corduroy to slashing pow in the trees, these skis will take you there. Metal laminate will keep things stable in firm conditions, but the tips are flexible enough to plane up in powder.
Extremely damp, smooth, and stable in ungroomed terrain and variable snow conditions while holding up well at higher speeds - this ski is a hard charging big mountain option that can still hold its edge!
Fischer Ranger 108 Skis · 2023
A playful freeride with a 18 meter turn radius, the Ranger is stiff underfoot and in the tails but is fairly soft in the tips and shovel - they'll be forgiving and fun in soft snow- not as receptive to being driven through the nose.
Blizzard Cochise Skis · 2020
An all-mountain ripper. 108mm underfoot. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely gonna have awesome edge hold, charge hard, and enable those GS turns.
A great all-around ski for those who like to have fun. A 108 waste keeps afloat in powder. With the metal top sheet will blast through chop and chunder.
All mountain ripping! Loves to eat up groomers and nimble enough for the bumps.
Faction Agent 3 Skis · 2024
This is a great ski. They may be the best one quiver ski on the market. They are really light for what they are (around 1700g). On fresh snow days I ski these in resort and love them hammering powder in the trees and glades. But by the end of the day, everything is all packed out and I am blown away by how nicely they carve groomers. In the backcountry they are light enough to kick my friends' butts on the uphill and they handle deep backcountry snow great. For those who weigh more than 200lbs, you may want the 4.0. This ski is ideal for people who are looking for a great 50/50 one ski quiver, and those who are going to put on Salomon Shift bindings, Marker Kingpin, Marker Dude PT, or a frame touring binding.
Decathlon Slash 100 Skis + Look NX 12 Konect GW Bindings · 2024
A huge plus to these is they come pre-mounted and are priced really well for skis AND bindings! These are fairly stiff but really easy to maneuver! The 100mm width is great for some deeper powder and off-piste conditions while still offering excellent edge hold when carving hard on groomed trails! Overall a well rounded ski to take you anywhere!
These are basically a slightly more burly version of the Rossignol Sky 7s. Super approachable, one quiver ski from Decathlon (basically the REI of Europe!). These are actually a fantastic option for an energetic all-mountain ski! Not a name brand in the US, but is high quality and comes with bindings!
Faction Dancer 3 Skis · 2024
Formally of the Dictator line, the Faction Dancer 3 ski gets a new name while maintaining its DNA. The focus on this ski is stability so that the skier can feel in control at even the highest speed. The 106mm waist and medium turn radius offer versatile stability in any condition, while the titanal laminate ensures the skier never flexes through the ski when they are really moving fast!
K2 Wayback 106 Skis · 2023
As a touring ski, the Wayback 106 is a fun-loving, easy going ski that appeals to a wide arrange of skiers. Its incredibly light at 1500 grams per ski in the 179 cm length, meaning you sometimes forget its still attached to your feet. But K2 stiffens the ski with a Titanal metal laminate underfoot to give it strength and stability. The Wayback really shines in soft snow and powder, and the all terrain rocker makes it super surfy and super fun for smearing your way through deep snow. Its lightweight nature can get knocked around a bit in more variable snow, but other than that, the Wayback is the perfect one ski quiver for doing mellow hot laps in the sidecountry or all-day missions deep into the mountains.
Being one of the lightest mid-fat touring skis out there at around 1500 grams per ski, these keep your legs fresh on ascents but are really strong once you get your turns in. These are particularly stiff underfoot and at the tail, giving you a lot of spring out of a turn while allowing the front part of the ski to float in powder well and provide great turn initiation.
Dynafit Free 107 Skis · 2023
This ski is wide enough to float when you need it and also super maneuverable for tight and steep terrain. This ski has you in the most demanding terrain you will find yourself in.
