Our Cover Photo
Every photo in this Guide — and in all of our past Guides — is a photo of one of our reviewers, out testing product. This year’s cover photo was taken on 3.03.19, and the reviewer is Blister founder, Jonathan Ellsworth. It was shot by our managing editor, Luke Koppa, on one of many incredible pow days at Crested Butte last season. Jonathan was very happily testing the deep-snow performance of the Rossignol Black Ops 118, and you can read our take on that ski (and hundreds more) in this Guide.
Also happens to be the perfect weight for smashing mosquitos. Ours made it on the dresser all the way through summer.
Ha, truly one of the most versatile Buyer’s Guides out there.
I just signed up and got the 18/19 delivered the other day, will I get the 19/20 version as well?
Yep! The 19/20 copy is also included in your membership.
I’m wondering if Jonathan has an in with the Snow Gods just so he can continue to maintain anonymity in all pictures
Yep, I’ve made a deal with them: I’ll keep making fun of Sam Shaheen if they keep blessing me with big snow storms. So far, both sides have kept up our respective ends of the bargain.
Sweet clean graphics. Looking good
This is this best buyers guide hands down. Any chance you can add a column to your ranking for general maneuverability in your big mountain charger section. Not the key feature for a ski in that section but nice to know how it will handle a mogul field when you find yourself in one.
will there be a download link for blister members?
Yep, we’re aiming to have the downloadable version ready in the next day or so.
