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.
2nd Look: MOMENT PB&J, 188cm
We’ve raved about the MOMENT PB&J as an all mountain, do everything ski. But how’s it handle the park? Andrew Gregovich weighs in on the PB&J’s freestyle / park performance.
2nd Look: Blizzard Cochise, 185cm
Want a second opinion? “The Blizzard Cochise will certainly reward good technique, but it doesn’t demand it. It has something to offer to a range of ability levels, caters to more than one riding style, and is happy pretty much anywhere….”
The Praxis WooTest
The backcountry-ready Praxis WooTest is about to become a reality. Find out how you, too, can get your very own WooTest (and what’s up with this dog).
2013-2014 Blizzard Cochise, 185cm
The Blizzard Cochise is a very good, unusual ski that is difficult to describe. But it’s been performing very well everywhere at Taos, and if you know Taos, you know that’s saying a whole lot.
2012-2013 Rossignol S3 W, 168cm
Julia Van Raalte gets four days on (and a First Look at) the Rossignol S3 W.
2nd Look: 2014-2015 Volkl Bridge, 179cm
