by
The XDR 88 Ti replaced one of our favorite all-mountain skis, the Salomon X-Drive 8.8 FS. So how similar is the XDR 88 Ti, and what type of skiers will most enjoy it?

Jonathan Ellsworth reviews the ON3P Wrenegade 96 for Blister

2019-2020 ON3P Wrenegade 96

So how does it compare to the Wren 98 it replaced, as well as other skis in its class? Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, initial impressions, and Flash Review.
