At Blister Summit 2024, we asked Cody Townsend, Elyse Saugstad, Eric “Hoji” Hjorleifson, Drew Petersen, & Sander Hadley to tell us about the first ski they truly loved — and their answeres did not disappoint.
Let us know your own answers in the comments!

A 1988 200cm Elan 4S. I picked it up cheaply when I was working as a technician in a Whistler tuning shop. It was longer than I would normally ski a slalom ski even back then, but the extra length made it a brilliant daily driver. I loved those skis.
Elan was so good then. Were those the blue ones?
No. Pink and grey.
Full rocker Volkl Mantra
196 Blizzard Bodacious. Monster trucks. <3
Salomon Pocket Rocket (first “fat” ski) and OG K2 Obsethed (first rockered ski)
Pocket Rockets for sure
Völkl P9 in 204cm
