For 24/25, Atomic widened their women’s all-mountain lineup with the addition of the Maven 103 CTI, and the new ski achieves the rare feat of standing out both on piste and in powder — but that’s not the whole story.

Flash Review: 24/25 Rossignol Sender Free 118

by
The Rossignol Blackops 118 is one of the all-time favorite skis of several of our reviewers. So, when we heard that Rossignol changed it for the 24/25 season, we couldn't help but hold our collective breath. This week, we finally spent a few pow days on the new model, the Sender Free 118. So, can everybody exhale now, or can Rossignol expect an angry mob at their doorstep? Check out Luke Koppa’s Flash Review to find out.

Kristin Sinnott & Luke Koppa review the ZAG Harfang 96 for Blister

2024-2025 Zag Harfang 96 & Harfang 96 Lady

by
The ZAG Harfang 96 is a very traditional ski in some regards, and less so in others. And for certain folks, this all-mountain ski's rare combo of traits will be a whole lot of fun. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons, where both our male and female reviewers weigh in.
Dylan Wood reviews the Head Oblivion 102 for Blister

2024-2025 Head Oblivion 102

by
Part of Head's recent overhaul of their freestyle lineup, the Oblivion 102 may look like an oversized park ski, but that simple characterization would by no means accurately summarize its uncommon all-mountain ride. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons for the whole story.
Dylan Wood & Luke Koppa review the Line Bacon 108 for Blister

2023-2024 Line Bacon 108

by
The word “Bacon” has adorned the name of at least one Line ski for almost two decades now, and this season, Line launched three all-new models. So, how does the latest Bacon 108 compare to its cured-meat-named predecessors, and the rest of the freestyle market? Here’s our Full Review.
Kristin Sinnott & Sascha Anastas review the RMU Valhalla 107 for Blister

2023-2024 RMU Valhalla 107

by
RMU says their women-specific Valhalla 107 is “a skier's dream once you enter fresh snow,” but at a narrower width than most powder-specific models, can the Valhalla 107 really compete when things get deep? And what about its all-mountain versatility? Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons for our take.
Luke Koppa & Dylan Wood review the Armada ARG II UL for Blister

2024-2025 Armada ARG II UL

by
The original Armada ARG was one of the earliest “superfat,” ultra-powder-specific models to hit the market in the mid-2000s. Today, the modern ARG II UL carries on its legacy, but these days, its specialist design is far, far less common. So, why is that, and why has Armada opted to keep it around? Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons for the whole story.
Luke Koppa reviews the Volkl Revolt 114 for BLISTER.

2024-2025 Volkl Revolt 114

by
We were a bit surprised when we first saw the Volkl Revolt 114. It bears the same family name as their very playful, freestyle-oriented models, yet its overall design seems more in line with much more directional freeride options. So, is it some weird mutant of a ski? Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons to find out.

2023-2024 Blizzard Sheeva 11

Blister reviews the Moment Countach 110 ski

2023-2024 Moment Countach 110

by
The new Countach 110 is one of the few skis in Moment’s lineup that doesn’t neatly fit into one of their established product series. After first testing it at last year’s Blister Summit, several of our reviewers continued to put time on it over the past year, and now it’s time for them to chime in — check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
Luke Koppa reviews the RMU Apostle 96 Pro for BLISTER.

2023-2024 RMU Apostle 96 Pro

by
The Apostle 96 Pro takes RMU’s playful all-mountain shape and adds two sheets of metal — a combo we don’t often see. So, how well does the resulting ski blend these seemingly unusual design traits? Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
Kara Williard reviews the Mindbender 106C W for BLISTER.

2023-2024 K2 Mindbender 106C W

by
K2 calls the recently overhauled Mindbender 106C W the ultimate one ski quiver, for "when you don’t know what the forecast has in store.” So, how does it compare to other wider all-mountain skis, as well as the previous version? Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.

2023-2024 Salomon Stance 102

by
Salomon updated their Stance line of metal-laminate all-mountain skis this season, and the new Stance 102 is a very different ski than its predecessor — and for the majority of skiers out there, that is a good thing. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.

by
The recently launched DPS Kaizen skis feature a new construction, new shapes, and are the latest in a long line of the brand’s do-it-all, carbon-construction skis.

Luke Koppa reviews the Blizzard Rustler 11 for BLISTER.

2023-2024 Blizzard Rustler 11

by
The Rustler 11 is the widest, most soft-snow-oriented ski in the recently overhauled Rustler collection, but Blizzard has changed many aspects of its design, so we were eager to see how it would compare to past iterations — and the rest of the market. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
