2015-2016 Romp Skis 106
Romp built two custom skis for Blister from the same mold, but with very different designs. Here's our review of the second, freestyle-oriented ski.
Skiing
2015-2016 Fischer RC4 130 Vacuum
Three of us at Blister have now reviewed the Fischer RC4 130 Vacuum, and all three agree that it is the best fitting boot (and perhaps the best overall boot) that we have ever used.
2017-2018 Moment Tahoe 96
The Moment Tahoe is no joke. And when it comes to making big turns at very high speeds, we haven't skied anything that rivals it.
2019-2020 DPS Wailer 112 Tour1
DPS has released a line of light, touring-specific skis with their new "Tour1" construction, and we've been putting in some time on the Wailer 112RP2 Tour1 in Alaska.
2016-2017 Blizzard Spur
Update: we've added a 2nd review of the Spur by Paul Forward, conducted while heli & resort skiing in Alaska.
2018-2019 Whitedot Director
For an all-mountain charger of this width, the Whitedot Director is the best we’ve tested in deep powder.
2016-2017 Moment Ghost Train
The Moment Ghost Train is a weird looking pow ski that may force us to turn the expression “two-faced” into a compliment.
2014-2015 Dodge Ski Boot
Dodge is making a carbon fiber ski boot that is quite stiff, customizable, and skis great on piste.
2019-2020 Blizzard Cochise
We've been A/B-ing the current and the new Blizzard Cochise, so here's our first review on its soft snow performance.
Preview: 2015-2016 Nordica Enforcer
For 15/16, Nordica is bringing back the Enforcer—at least in name, and perhaps in character, too.
2017-2018 Whitedot Redeemer
The Whitedot Redeemer sits between more playful, forward-mounted pow skis and more substantial, traditionally-shaped skis. The less you feel like choosing sides, the more interesting you’ll find the Redeemer.
Video: 2015-2016 Blizzard Cochise
We've been putting quite a bit of time on the new Blizzard Cochise. Our first review drops on Sunday.
2018-2019 Line Magnum Opus
Time for a Pow Update on the Line Magnum Opus, with comparisons to the Atomic Bent Chetler...
2020-2021 Moment Sierra
The Moment Sierra may be one of the best all-mountain skis we've reviewed, given its combination of hard snow and soft snow performance.
2017-2018 Whitedot Redeemer CarbonLite
The Whitedot Skis Redeemer sits favorably in the growing class of ~8 lb-per-pair powder skis, and should be on the radar of anyone who tours for untracked snow, or who just prefers lighter pow skis.
Preview: 2015-2016 Faction Eleven
For 15/16, Faction is replacing their burly, big-mountain ski, the Thirteen, with the Eleven. Take a look at what Faction's done to their hardest-charging ski.
2017-2018 Atomic Bent Chetler, 185cm
We've reviewed the last two iterations of the biggest Bent Chetler, time now to address the 185cm version.
2019-2020 4FRNT Hoji W
If you're looking for a directional big mountain ski that crushes soft conditions, check out the women's version of Eric Hjorleifson’s pro model: the 4FRNT Hoji W.
Preview: 2015-2016 Faction CT 3.0
We've been looking to get on Candide Thovex's pro model skis for a few seasons, and we're more curious than we've ever been about the updated CT 3.0.
Preview: 2015-2016 Moment Exit World
The Moment Exit World has been redesigned for 2016, and our initial time on the ski was promising.
