2nd Look: LINE Mr. Pollard’s Opus
We're about to post our thoughts on the new Line Magnum Opus, but before we do, we wanted to run again our review of the original Opus—a ski that earned a 'Blister Best Of' Award last year.
Skiing
2014-2015 Blizzard Bodacious
Versatile, stable, forgiving, and damp. The Blizzard Bodacious is an outstanding big-mountain / fatter all-mountain ski.
2014-2015 SCOTT Vanisher
The new SCOTT Vanisher is a light and playful ski that works best in soft conditions and is a whole lot of fun.
2016-2017 Armada Invictus 108Ti
Unlike anything Armada has made before, the new Invictus is a directional all-mountain ski with a stout, big-mountain feel.
2nd Look: DPS Wailer 105
We take another look at the new DPS Wailer 105, with comparisons to skis in its class from Moment, Line, Salomon, Blizzard, and more.
2014-2015 Blizzard Cochise
Blizzard tweaked the Cochise for the 2014-2015 season. Thankfully, this latest version is still one of the best skis in its class.
2015-2016 Atomic Automatic 109
The new Atomic Automatic 109 has a lot of qualities that helped make the original Automatic a popular ski. It's light and quick, but fares surprisingly well in challenging conditions.
2016-2017 DPS Wailer 105
For those who prefer substantial and damp skis to light and reactive ones (especially when conditions get firm), the new Wailer 105 Hybrid T2 is a very good all-mountain option, and a big departure for DPS.
Leki Aergonlite 2 Crystal Speedlock Ski Poles
Leki's Aergonlite 2 Crystal Speedlock has a narrower grip for smaller hands, and some features that make it a good option for both the resort and the backcountry.
Preview: 2014-2015 Volkl Aura
The popular Volkl Aura has been completely overhauled for the 2014-2015 season.
Preview: 2015-2016 Armada Invictus 108Ti
Armada built its brand making fun, playful skis like the JJ. But with the new Invictus, Armada is looking to dominate a different category, too: the directional charger.
Preview: 2014-2015 Blizzard Bodacious
The Blizzard Bodacious is the best-looking ski of the 14/15 season, and it's not just its looks that have us all excited.
2021-2022 Armada Edollo
Henrik Harlaut’s pro model, the Armada Al Dente, stands in a class of its own as the widest, most jib-oriented park ski we've ever tested.
2015-2016 Nordica OMW
The new 181cm Nordica OMW is a versatile park ski, and we'll tell you exactly how it stacks up to some of the most popular skis in the category.
2014-2015 K2 Annex 98
The K2 Annex 98 is an all-mountain ski that’s really two different skis under the same topsheet.
2nd Look: Rossignol Experience 100
Here's our 2nd Look at the Rossignol Experience 100, with comparisons to the Line Supernatural 100.
2017-2018 4FRNT Madonna
The 4FRNT Madonna is an all-mountain ski that's fun and playful in lighter, fresh snow, and also does well on groomers and in crud.
2016-2017 Moment Belafonte
Once again, one of our favorite skis gets a makeover for next season. Meet the new Moment Belafonte.
2013-2014 DOWN Skis Countdown 2
For those looking for a lighter freeride ski (without the tiny turn radius) for inbounds AND backcountry use, the Countdown 2 makes a whole lot of sense.
