In our next round of three-ski quiver selections, our reviewer on the East Coast weighs in.
2015-2016 K2 Shreditor 102
The new K2 Shreditor 102 is playful, yet does surprisingly well in variable conditions. It's right up there with some of our favorite freestyle-oriented all-mountain skis.
2016-2017 Line Supernatural 108
Update: we've detailed the specific differences between the prototype & production models of this impressive, playful charger.
2014-2015 Lange RS 120 S.C.
The Lange RS 120 S.C. is a solid boot that can be driven hard in all conditions, but is also really comfortable.
2021-2022 Volkl V-Werks Katana
Of all the skis we've reviewed, the Volkl V-Werks Katana stands out as certainly the most surprising and one of the most impressive.
2017-2018 Atomic Bent Chetler, 192cm
The new Atomic Bent Chetler is far more than just a big surfy pow ski.
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.
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.
