Paul Forward reviews the Faction La Machine Max for Blister

2022-2023 Faction La Machine Max

by
Faction's 126mm-wide La Machine Max turned heads when it first came out, and our reviewer / heli-guide / pow-expert has become a very big fan of it after two seasons. Apparently, he's not the only one, since Faction is also creating a whole new collection of La Machine skis for 22/23. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons for more on the widest La Machine and the rest of the new series.

2021-2022 Renoun Endurance 88

by
Renoun’s skis are legitimately unique, due to the non-Newtonian polymer in their construction. We’ve been spending time on their narrowest all-mountain ski, the Endurance 88, and the results have, once again, been very surprising. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
