2021-2022 WNDR Alpine Vital 100

by
From steep, techy lines in the backcountry, to fast laps at Mt. Crested Butte, we’ve now used the WNDR Alpine Vital 100 for a bit of everything. Check out our full review and Deep Dive comparisons for more on this ski and its algae-derived construction.
Zack Henderson reviews the Banshee Titan V3 for Blister

Banshee Titan V3

by
We recently reviewed Banshee’s short-travel Phantom, and we've also spent the past year+ on its longer-travel sibling, the Titan. It’s an impressive (and incredibly good looking) 29er, but who is it best suited for, and where does it most notably excel? Check out our full review to find out.
David Golay Reviews the Privateer 161 for Blister

Privateer 161

by
With progressive geometry, a bargain price for what you get, and thoughtful design touches and spec, the Privateer 161 looks awfully appealing on paper. We’ve been testing this aluminum Enduro race bike and think it delivers on what the brand claims about it — for the right types of riders. Check out our full review for all the details.

2021-2022 Black Crows Camox

by
Three of our reviewers spent time on the 97mm-wide, twin-tipped Black Crows Camox this season, and despite their different skiing styles, all three came away with pretty positive impressions. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.

Hoka One One Carbon X2

by
Shoes with carbon plates have gained a lot of attention recently, but most are pretty niche, race-oriented products. The Hoka Carbon X2 is designed to offer both race-day efficiency and long-distance comfort, and while we were at first skeptical about that bold claim, we've been thoroughly impressed by this shoe so far.

Luke Koppa reviews the DPS Pagoda Piste 90 RP for Blister

2021-2022 DPS Pagoda Piste 90 RP

by
The Pagoda Piste 90 RP is a uniquely versatile, narrower all-mountain ski that should be on the radar of folks who spend a lot of time off piste. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.

2021-2022 Wagner Summit 106

by
Wagner made a few skis for testing at the Blister Summit, and we’ve continued to spend time on their “50/50” 106mm-wide ski. The results have been quite impressive — check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.

Strafe Castle Jacket

by
With a sleek look that's paired with high-end materials and insulation, the Strafe Castle Jacket warrants strong consideration if you're in the market for an insulated ski / snowboard jacket that doesn't look out of place away from the slopes.
Luke Koppa reviews the Elan Wingman 86 CTi for Blister

2021-2022 Elan Wingman 86 CTi

by
If your definition of an "all-mountain" ski is one that's a blast to carve on groomers but that can also handle occasional laps off piste, the Wingman 86 CTi should be on your list. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
