Kara Williard reviews the Blizzard Sheeva 11 for Blister

2021-2022 Blizzard Sheeva 11

by
Though it’s the widest women’s ski Blizzard makes, we’ve found the Sheeva 11 to be surprisingly versatile, and think it would work well for a wide variety of skiers.
Paul Forward reviews the Lange XT Free 130 for Blister

2019-2020 Lange XT Free 130 LV

by
The previous Lange XT 130 Freetour was one of the best tech-binding-compatible AT ski boots we’ve used in terms of downhill performance, and Lange updated it this year. So how similar or different is the new Lange XT Free 130?

Blister reviews the K2 Pinnacle 95 Ti

2018-2019 K2 Pinnacle 95 Ti

by
Light, but pretty stable. Surfy, but can hold an edge. Forgiving, but supportive. The newest iteration of the K2 Pinnacle 95 Ti feels like a bit of a contradiction, but the result is a pretty versatile ski that we think a lot of skiers may enjoy. Check out our full review.
Jonathan Ellsworth reviews the ON3P Wrenegade 96 for Blister

2019-2020 ON3P Wrenegade 96

by
The brand-new ON3P Wrenegade 96 is the narrowest directional ski in ON3P’s lineup, but it definitely doesn’t look like some corduroy cruiser. So how does it compare to the Wren 98 it replaced, as well as other skis in its class? Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, initial impressions, and Flash Review.

Blister reviews the Armada Invictus 89 Ti

2019-2020 Armada Invictus 89 Ti

by
The Armada Invictus 89 Ti is the narrowest metal-laminate ski in Armada’s revamped Invictus lineup, and while it has two layers of titanal, it isn’t heavy, and it has lots of tip rocker. So what sort of ski is it? Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions.

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.
