Recent Ski Reviews
2014-2015 Dynastar Cham 107
The strength of the Dynastar Cham 107 is in its versatility. It’s a multi-tool that does a lot of things well rather than absolutely stand out in a specific condition or application.
2014-2015 Fischer Big Stix 110
The Fischer Big Stix 110 shines precisely where most tip and tail rockered skis falter. Take a look.
2015-2016 Salomon Q-115
The new Salomon Rocker2 115 is a big-mountain gun that shows some range—surprisingly easy and fun on groomers, yet still likely to satisfy the hard-charging crowd on any pow day.
2012-2013 Down Skis Countdown 3
The Down Skis Countdown 3 is a serious, damp big-mountain ski well suited to cut big, fast turns on a pow day, but capable of smearing and surfing turns when you ask.
2013-2014 Fischer Watea 106
A stiffer ski with positive camber through the tails, the Fischer Watea 106 is not super playful or really easy to ski—it’s for going hard and fast, period. In other words, bring your A game.
2015-2016 Kastle XX110
Kästle has gone in a new direction with their fully symmetrical XX110 West, and Colby West and Kästle both deserve a standing ovation for this pow / jib ski that can handle big-mountain lines.
Exclusive First Look: 2012-2013 DPS Wailer 112RPC
The DPS Wailer 112RPC is the stiffer, wider, and more subtly rockered offspring of the popular Wailer 112RP. And while the “C” stands for charger, this apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree. Check out BLISTER’s exclusive first review.
2013-2014 Atomic Ritual
The Atomic Ritual can be easily slashed and skidded, but is still a substantial ski to use as an everyday all-mountain charger.
Nordica Firearrow F1
Our fourth and final boot for Las Leñas? The Nordica Firearrow F1, a 3-piece design with a 100mm last for skiers who don’t have ballerina-sized feet.
2013 Dalbello Krypton Two KR Pro
The Krypton Pro certainly isn’t a stranger to the 3-piece boot market, but the 2013 Krypton Two KR Pro has been significantly re-hauled for 2013. We’ve been eager to check out a pair since trying the boots on at SIA, so we’ve brought them to Las Leñas.
Lange XT 130 LV
Also with us in Las Leñas, the new Lange XT 130 LV, a freeride alpine boot with a walk mode. In short, Lange is calling it a high-performance alpine boot that climbs, and we’re here to see if it lives up to the expectations.
12/13 Atomic Redster Pro 130
In addition to the 13 pairs of skis that we’ve brought to Las Leñas, we figured we might as well bring some boots, too. Here are the boots that we’ve been slinging over our shoulders and backpacks through airports and bus stations, and the boots we got on snow for the first time yesterday. First up, the 12/13 Atomic Redster Pro 130.
ZipFit World Cup liner
Skeptical about custom liners? Even if you think your stock setup ain’t broke, you might want to fix it anyway. Read on to learn why.
Our Selections: Salomon Guardian / Atomic Tracker AT binding
Over the past three years, Salomon and Atomic have collaborated with their athletes to develop a new 16 DIN AT freeride binding that looks to set a new standard for uphill functionality and downhill performance.
DPS Lotus 120 Hybrid
The DPS Lotus 120 is a fun, fat, rockered, pintailed powder board that shines in fresh snow, with a combination of maneuverability and chargeability that is hard to find.
2nd Look: 2016-2017 MOMENT Deathwish
In this 2nd Look of the MOMENT Deathwish, reviewer Jason Hutchins praises its smooth, playful ride, but also has a few suggestions for improvements.
