Blister reviews the Liberty VMT 92

2018-2019 Liberty V92

by
With full-length carbon, vertically laminated metal struts, and straight-up steel plates underfoot, Liberty’s brand-new "V" line of skis sound serious. Though the story gets a bit more complicated (and more interesting) when you take a closer look. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, initial impressions, and Flash Review of the V92.

2019-2020 Line Sick Day 114

by
We spent more time this past season on both lengths of the Line Sick Day 114. Check out our updated review and our new Deep Dive comparisons (including the ON3P Wrenegade 114, Liberty Origin 112, and Faction Dictator 4.0).
Luke Koppa reviews the Faction Prodigy 3.0 for Blister

2019-2020 Faction Prodigy 3.0

by
Faction has overhauled their Prodigy 3.0, and we’re big fans of the new ski. And we think that both directional skiers and more freestyle-oriented skiers could be fans of it, too. Check out our full review and Deep Dive comparisons.
Blister reviews the Head Nexo LYT 130

2018-2019 Head Nexo LYT 130

by
The brand-new Head Nexo LYT 130 is the lightest alpine boot we’ve ever reviewed (and it’s lighter than a lot of touring boots we’ve reviewed). But that’s not the only thing that sets this boot apart from the competition. Check out our measured specs, fit notes, and initial impressions.
Blister reviews the Atomic Bent Chetler 100

2021-2022 Atomic Bent Chetler 100

by
Since it’s named after Chris Benchetler — one of the most creative and playful skiers in the world — you might think you know exactly what sort of ski the new Bent Chetler 100 is. Think again. Check out our full review.
Luke Koppa reviews the Liberty Origin 90 for Blister

2018-2019 Liberty Origin 90

by
For the 18/19 season, Liberty has revised the Origin 90. Take a look at our measured specs, rocker pics, initial impressions, and Flash Review, to see how different it is from the 17/18 Origin 90, and how much family resemblance there is to the Origin 96, 106, and 112.
Joey Teahan reviews the K2 Sight for Blister

2021-2022 K2 Sight

by
The K2 Sight is supposed to work well in the park and all over the mountain. But does it truly feel at home in the park, or is it more of a freestyle-oriented all-mountain ski? Check out our review.
Blister reviews the Atomic Backland Tour / Salomon MTN binding

2020-2021 Salomon MTN Pure / Atomic Backland Pure

by
While the Salomon / Atomic Shift binding is a revolutionary piece of ski equipment, Salomon and Atomic also make a touring binding on the much lighter and simpler end of the spectrum. So is the MTN / Backland Tour as game-changing as the Shift? And how does it compare to the other options in the lightweight touring binding category?
Jonathan Ellsworth reviews the Nordica Promachine 130 for Blister

2021-2022 Nordica Promachine 130

by
Nordica is entering the lighter weight alpine boot category for 18/19, and they claim their new Promachine line combines “race-boot performance” with “all-mountain comfort and versatility.” (Yeah, right. Right?) Check out our measured specs, fit notes, and initial impressions of the new Promachine 130.
Blister reviews the Dynafit TLT Speed binding

2020-2021 Dynafit TLT Speed

by
The Dynafit TLT Speed is the newest lightweight touring binding from Dynafit. But with all the new competition in the tech-binding category, how does the TLT Speed compare to the other options out there? Check out our full review.
Kara Williard reviews the K2 Fulluvit 95Ti for Blister

2018-2019 K2 Fulluvit 95Ti

by
Part of K2’s women’s Freeride Collection, the Fulluvit 95Ti is said to crush “all conditions at top speeds” while still being “lightweight and nimble for a freeride ski.” That’s some pretty big talk, but how does the Fulluvit 95Ti compare to the previous version, and how does it stack up against other ~95mm women’s all-mountain skis on the market? Check out our full review.
Blister reviews the K2 Gottaluvit 105Ti

2018-2019 K2 Gottaluvit 105Ti

by
New for 18/19, the K2 Gottaluvit 105Ti features a combination of weight, construction, rocker profile, and shape that make it an interesting addition to the wider all-mountain category. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions.
Luke Koppa reviews the Scott Scrapper 105 for Blister

2018-2019 Scott Scrapper 105

by
New for 18/19, the Scott Scrapper 105 is a ski that could be placed in either the all-mountain or touring-ski categories, though it really stands out from most of the skis in both. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, initial impressions, and flash review.
