Intuition Liners – Overview and Reviews
Custom liners can enhance the performance you’re getting from your ski boots. Here, Marshal Olson breaks down the pros and cons of four Intuition liners to help you determine which might be right for you.
2011-2012 Lange RS 110 S.C.
The 2011-2012 Lange RS 110 S.C. is a great boot that blends race boot performance with surprising comfort and playfulness.
2012-2013 Bluehouse Antics
Minimal swing weight and soft flex make the 2011-2012 Bluehouse Antics a fun rail and jump ski, but durability is a concern.
2012-2013 4FRNT Turbo
4FRNT markets the Turbo as a ski for any condition and any terrain. After ten days on the Turbo, BLISTER reviewer Jason Hutchins agrees.
2013-2014 Volkl Shiro
The 183cm Volkl Shiro offers a nice blend of versatility and powder performance, but demonstrated some finicky behavior that would likely be reduced by sizing up.
2012-2013 Blizzard Dakota, 177cm
The women’s version of the Cochise, the 2012-2013 Blizzard Dakota is one of the burliest big-mountain women’s skis yet.
3rd Look: MOMENT Belafonte, 182cm
Will Brown weighs in on the Moment Belafonte, with reference to two other popular skis from this season: the Moment PB&J and the Blizzard Cochise.
3rd Look: MOMENT PB&J
Will Brown offers his two cents to and provides a third look at the PB&J.
2012-2013 Blizzard GunSmoke
The new GunSmoke is a freestyle-oriented addition to Blizzard’s “Free Mountain” lineup, and a very solid addition at that. BLISTER reviewer Andrew Gregovich is sold.
2012-2013 Line Pandora
More than just a really good pow ski, the Line Pandora might actually be one of the most sturdy and fun all-mountain women’s skis available.
2012-2013 ON3P Cease and Desist
If you’re looking for a big ski to point down big lines, the ON3P Cease and Desist might be your ride.
2014-2015 4FRNT Hoji
When Eric Hjorleifson comes out with a new pro model (especially a pro model that replaces the much loved 4FRNT EHP), it’s time to pay attention. We’ve been running the new HOJI through the pillows and trees and pow of Niseko, and the ski is as dynamic and playful as the terrain around here.
2012-2013 Black Diamond Gigawatt
Since it STILL hasn’t stopped snowing here in Niseko, we’re glad we’ve had the Gigawatt with us. It’s exceptional in deep, open spaces; very good in deep, tight trees; outstanding in soft chop; and excellent (for its size) on groomers. But the biggest question might be: Gigawatt, or Megawatt?
2012-2013 Black Diamond Element
The Black Diamond Element is proving in Niseko to be a fantastic pow ski that actually does very well in chopped up snow and crud – assuming you get the mount position right….
2012-2013 LINE Stepup
With rock-solid stability and fun, poppy flex, the completely redesigned 2011-2012 Line Stepup is a perfect fit for both recreational riders and serious competitors.
2012-2013 MOMENT Bella, 172cm
A new addition to MOMENT’s line of women’s skis, the Bella is one of the best all-mountain skis on the market.
