2021-2022 Dynastar M-Free 99

The M-Free 99 is both the narrower version of a Blister favorite, the M-Free 108, and the replacement for another favorite, the Menace 98. So it's got a lot to live up to, but how does it compare? Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.

Luke Koppa reviews the Wagner Summit 97 for Blister

2021-2022 Wagner Summit 97

Historically, Wagner has only offered fully custom skis. But last year they made four models for the Blister Summit, and those Summit skis are now available as stock, “factory” options. The Summit 97 is their take on a versatile and stable all-mountain ski, and we think it is an excellent execution of that concept. Check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons.
