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.

2021-2022 Black Crows Serpo

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.
Luke Koppa reviews the Head Kore 87 for Blister

2021-2022 Head Kore 87

Kara Williard reviews the Atomic Maven 93 C for Blister

2021-2022 Atomic Maven 93 C

Luke Koppa & Dylan Wood review the Salomon QST 98 for Blister

2021-2022 Salomon QST 98

The Salomon QST 99 was one of the most versatile skis we’ve reviewed in the past few years, and for 21/22, Salomon is replacing it with the new QST 98. While they’re pretty different, we think Salomon has once again made a ski that could work for a lot of people, but you should check out our full review & Deep Dive comparisons to see if the new QST 98 is the ski for you.
