5-Ski Quivers: Reviewers’ Selections (20/21)
It's once again that time of year where we spend way too much time thinking about ski quivers, so we're kicking off our reviewers' personal quiver selections with the big ones: 5-ski quivers.
2021-2022 Sego Condor 108
Sego's Condor 108 was one of the more surprising skis we got on last season, and we think it is a reliable, predictable, and versatile tool that will work for a lot of skiers - whether you take a more directional or more playful approach to the mountain. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive Comparisons.
2021-2022 Rossignol BLACKOPS Sender
The new Rossignol BLACKOPS Sender fills an interesting role. It essentially serves as a replacement for the exceptionally popular Soul 7, it’s also positioned as the easier alternative to the new BLACKOPS Sender Ti, and now we’re chiming in on how it compares to both of those skis, and who we think will like it the most. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.
2021-2022 Volkl Blaze 106
We’re always skeptical when brands claim that their lightweight skis offers “no compromises on the down,” but after spending time on it this past season, the new Volkl Blaze 106 clearly stood out as a lightweight ski that’s still lots of fun on the descent. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.
2021-2022 K2 Reckoner 122
Last season we got to ski a lot of very deep snow on the very wide K2 Reckoner 122. Check out our Full Review and Deep Dive comparisons for more on this new playful pow ski.
2021-2022 Elan Ripstick 116
During this coming season we’ll be reviewing Elan’s big-mountain ski, the Ripstick 116. Check out our First Look to see what it shares in common with the other Ripsticks, what it does not, and how its design compares to the rest of the market.
20/21 K2 Reckoner 122
Update 7.7.20: we've added some thoughts on how the Reckoner 122 handles resort "pow" and choppier conditions.

2021-2022 4FRNT Raven
For the 20/21 season, 4FRNT is offering a new, special edition of their excellent Raven ski. Check out our First Look & Flash Review for more on this collab with Eric Hjorleifson & Pomoca, and how the newest Raven compares to the rest of the market.
2021-2022 Black Crows Atris
This past season we had two reviewers spending time on the latest iteration of the playful "big-mountain" ski in the Black Crows lineup, the Atris, and you can now check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.
2021-2022 K2 Reckoner 102
Many skis on the market are pretty good at a lot of things but consequently don't really stand out in any particular aspect. Given that, the ultra-playful, yet surprisingly versatile K2 Reckoner 102 is a refreshing change of pace — check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.
2020-2021 Kastle FX106 HP
The Kastle FX106 HP is a ski that's quick & lively but that some skiers will still be able to ski quite hard. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons to see if it'd be a good fit for you.
2021-2022 Movement Fly Two 115
Movement’s Fly Two collection is targeted at skiers who like to take a playful approach to the mountain, and their Fly Two 115 in particular has us very excited about its potential to be both playful and stable. Check out our First Look to see why.
2021-2022 Whitedot Altum 114
The Whitedot Altum 114 is one of those skis that we think a very wide range of skiers will like, from those always looking for natural features to hit, to those who ski with a more directional style. Check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
2021-2022 Majesty Vanguard
New for 20/21, the Majesty Vanguard is a lightweight, twin-tipped, and strong 118mm-wide ski — a combination we don’t see all that often. Check out our First Look & Flash Review for more on this new big-mountain ski.
2020-2021 Movement Alp Tracks 106
We’re reviewing a few new skis from Movement, starting with one of the lightest skis we’ve weighed, the Alp Tracks 106. Check out our First Look for more on this ultralight “free touring” ski.
2020-2021 Majesty Havoc
We’re reviewing a number of Majesty’s new 20/21 skis, including the 110mm-wide, freeride-oriented Havoc. Check out our First Look for more info.
2021-2022 Dynafit Hoji Free
This year we spent time in the Dynafit Hoji Free, the stiffest boot in the Hoji series, and think its blend of uphill mobility and downhill power may be unrivaled. But there's more to it than that — check out our Full Review & Deep Dive comparisons.
2021-2022 J Skis Slacker
J Skis has set out to make the “least nerdy touring ski on the market,” and the result is their brand-new Slacker. Check out our First Look & Flash Review to find out how their non-nerdy touring ski design compares to the rest of the market.
Fauna Pioneer
This season we spent a good chunk of time skiing Fauna's lightweight (and beautiful) freeride ski, the Pioneer. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons to see how this new ski performed.
