Five Ten Freerider Pro Primeblue
Five Ten’s Freerider Pro has been a mainstay in their lineup for years, but now there’s an updated version — and it’s made with recycled ocean plastic. But does it still perform as well as the old version?
Reviews
2021-2022 RMU Apostle 3.0 106
The revised Apostle 106 is an exceptionally maneuverable and easy ski, but certain skiers could also really like it for skiing fast and dynamically all over the mountain. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.
Atomic Announces New 2022-2023 Bent Lineup

2021-2022 Scarpa F1 LT
The Scarpa Alien RS was one of our reviewer's all-time favorite touring boots, but what about its replacement? The F1 LT is similarly impressive — check out our full review.
Reserve 30 SL Wheels
Reserve’s 30 SL carbon wheels are a new offering meant for Trail bike duty, and at first glance, they seem a lot like the longstanding Reserve 30 that’s been put on a diet. But that’s far from the whole story, and the on-trail results are compelling.
2021-2022 DPS Foundation Koala 118
This year DPS updated the big, burly, yet playful Koala 119 that many of us loved. So is the new Koala 118 more of a subtle update, or a different ski entirely? Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
Ion Rascal Amp
The Ion Rascal Amp doesn’t try to be the techiest, most gadget-laden shoe on the market. Instead, it tries to take a tried-and-true design and execute it well. So did Ion succeed?
2021-2022 Nordica Santa Ana 104 Free
We've now had multiple reviewers on the Nordica Santa Ana 104 Free, and in this update, Kara Williard adds her thoughts on this metal-laminate women's all-mountain ski.
2022 Norco Range
Even by the standards of ~170mm travel Enduro bikes, the Norco Range is quite the bruiser — both on the way down, and on the climb back up. But for the right rider, that makes it something special.
2021-2022 4FRNT Renegade
We've now been able to get several reviewers on both lengths of 4FRNT / Eric Hjorleifson's pow ski. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
Cascade Components Full Guide
Cascade Components’ new chain guide promises great chain retention, low weight, and easy setup — i.e., all the things we look for in a chain guide. But does it deliver? And are there any downsides?
2021-2022 Black Crows Serpo
The new 93mm-wide Serpo isn't like most skis in its class, yet we've found it to be a very versatile ski that could work for a wide variety of skiers. Check out our Full Review and Deep Dive comparisons.
2021-2022 Head Kore 103 W
Here are our measured specs, flex pattern numbers, and rocker profile pics for the new Kore 103 W
2022 Fox DHX
Fox’s new DHX is a simpler, less-expensive coil shock than their flagship DHX2, and for some riders, that will sound appealing. But does it deliver? That really depends on what you’re looking for.
