The Stance 96 is an exciting new direction for wider Salomon skis. It's firmer and more powerful than any models before thanks to a solid wood core, C/FX layers and twin Titanal laminates. It has the width for soft snow and exploring, and the precision and grip of a dedicated hard snow ski. This makes an appealing mix for stronger skiers who like to ski anywhere on the mountain with no compromise when conditions aren't perfect.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It will go everywhere, from crushing out high speed turns on steep pistes to dealing with any snow that you might find away from the marked trails. It's only possible weak point is the very deepest days, but no all rounder can compete with powder skis on a pow day. That said it does have the width and rocker to deal with most fresh snow runs. It's a departure for Salomon, and very different to the QST 99. The Stance offers more grip and power, competing with other brand's stiff all mountain offerings, suiting a mix of pistes and all terrain skiing that involves much more than the holy grail of untouched powder runs.Skier TypeStrong all mountain skiers who demand grip, precision and power from a ski. Heavier, aggressive intermediate skiers will have no problem on the Stance but its main target is confident advanced and expert skiers who don't want to lose any hard snow performance and need a ski with the profile to deal with all conditions.OverviewShapeThe shape is that of freeride ski, with a 96mm waist and a 20m radius (182cm), built for stability and float. The construction resembles an all mountain ski, bringing power and grip to this all condition shape and is aided by the All Terrain Rocker. The result is a versatile ski for stronger or heavier skiers.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rocker at the tip for improved control and float, with camber underfoot for grip and energy. A smaller rocker on the tail aids turn completion and handling in soft snow without compromising hard snow performance.CoreA full poplar woodcore offers stability, liveliness and good ski-to-snow contact while filtering vibrations. A double layer of Titanal, one either side of the core, improves hard snow performance. It increases precision, offers good edge grip and aids responsiveness.ConstructionFull Sandwich Sidewalls maximise the precision and the energy transfer, resulting in the best levels of edge grip and control. Metal Twinframe Technology builds on this to reinforce the hard-charging nature of the ski.Key FeaturesMetal Twinframe TechnologyA double Titanal laminate is paired with C/FX. The top layer of Titanal improves stability and uses recessed windows that are strategically placed in the tip and tail, framing the C/FX layer. C/FX is Salomon's carbon and Flax layer which is used instead of heavier traditional fibreglass as it adds more precision and has better dampening properties. The result of this pairing is a damp ski that wants to go fast regardless of the terrain or conditions.eB tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Proper fast charging all mountain ski. Handled crud and chopped snow with ease and were better on hard packed snow than I expected. Not a forgiving ski but I found them easier to control and initiate turns than some others in the same category.  Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)16812694108191890176130961121919501821329611420194018813496116202070General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced/expertTerrain Type: Freeride Rocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: YesSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.

The ARV 96 combines the best elements of a freestyle skis light nimble handling with the energy and control of a freeride model. AR Freestyle Rocker uses rocker at the tip and tail with positive camber underfoot, allowing you to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and hold a carve on firm conditions. The Poplar Ash Core mixes light and denser woods in horizontal laminates to create a lively ski that has all the power needed.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Genuinely ready for anything, except maybe the very deepest days. It has a firm enough flex and construction that it will grip on hard snow and hold an edge whether pushing out carved turns or maxing the speed through difficult snow, but it's not so stiff that it hinders in the park and will still butter and press.Skier TypeFreestyle skiers who want to go everywhere on the mountain. The width boosts float as well as stability. The flex keeps things playful but is easily stiff enough for high-speed turns on pistes and going full-gas through chopped snow.OverviewShape96mm in the waist works for a variety of conditions without negatively affecting park performance. It's wide enough to float and feel stable in softer/deeper snow, but still narrow enough to feel good on firm conditions. The 17.5m (163cm) radius is medium for a ski like this, mixing stability with turning so it that it feels good everywhere.RockerAR Freestyle Rocker uses rockered tips and tails combined with positive camber under foot to allow the ski to charge with ease through unpredictable snow and maintain a solid carve when asked to do so. Turn the whole mountain into your playground.CoreArmada's Poplar Ash Core uses lightweight poplar combined with higher density full-length ash stringers to create an impossibly lively ski that has all the power needed for boosting to new elevations.ConstructionThe AR75 Sidewall uses semi-cap sidewall along the majority of the ski with a full cap at the tip and tails. This combination helps absorb high speed chatter and impacts from jibs.Key Features2.2 Impact edgeHeat treated and built to avoid excess weight while maintain durability, this edge gives the best balance of durability and feel of the whole Armada collection.S7 BaseThe perfect blend of durability and speed.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) effortlessly fuses smooth park and burly all-mountain handling.

The Black Pearl has won our women's Overall Ski of the Year on multiple occassions and is considered to be the best-selling ski in the world, the model every brand aspires to. It's an all condition ski that is truly happy anywhere on the mountain, from smooth pistes to tricky off-piste runs, care-free cruising to fast, technical turns. The Flipcore WSD construction is the key, producing perfect handling and balance, boosting confidence and encouraging skiers to keep pushing themselves.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, including lots of time on firm snow and pistes where its solid construction of wood core and carbon fibre, shines. In all the mixed conditions and tricky snow, the balance and impeccable handling make it the standout ski in the category. At 88mm underfoot isn't the choice for someone who dreams of maximum float on bottomless powder, but it is the right choice for proper all mountain skiers, who recognise that too much width can be a hinderance away from deep snow. It also makes a surprisingly good choice for skiers who stay mainly on piste and will happily trade all-out piste perfomance for maxium stability and comfort whatever the snow.Skier TypeThis is one of the areas that makes the Black Pearl 88 such a special ski over all the previous seasons. It feels so good to a vast range of skiers from intermediates who want more confidence, to stronger advanced skiers who are already skiing the whole mountain comfortably. This universal appeal is the sign of a great ski.OverviewShape88mm in the waist works for a variety of terrain. It makes the most of the construction so that it rips on hard snow and packed pistes, yet it has enough width and the tip and tail rocker to provide excellent stability in softer and mixed conditions. The turn radius of 15m (165cm) it's ideal for all terrain use, long enough to feel balanced without losing the ability to carve tighter turns when required.RockerBlizzard's Rocker/Camber/Rocker uses specifically designed rocker in the tip and tail with camber underfoot. The camber increases the carving character on groomed trails while the rocker at the extremities maintains floatation and ease of turning off the slopes.CoreLite Core is a wood core that is naturally strong but lightweight for maximum performance without added weight. A carbon layer adds stability keeping the overall weight less than similar models using metal sheets. The new TrueBlend W.S.D. design keeps it feeling powerful underfoot as well as smooth and controllable at the tip and tail.ConstructionSandwich Compound Sidewall uses the tried and tested traditional method for the best performance. This means layers to build the impressive core, with sidewalls to produce the grip and precision that a ski like this requires. The top sheet has a rounded finish to protect the surface of the ski from scratches.Key FeaturesTrueBlend W.S.D.TrueBlend W.S.D. (Women's Specific Design) uses an exclusive blend of woods to provide 3 areas of density, meaning Blizzard can control the flex precisely through the whole length of the ski. The result is the same natural and dynamic flex for all sizes. For the skier it means more relaxed handling, better balance and precise control. To achieve this complex wood core structure required new production and manufacturing techniques. Using different types of wood makes it possible to modify the characteristics of the ski right at the core. For example, a ski should be stiffer in the area under the binding and softer towards the ski tips. This is why Blizzard builds the wood core with very small pieces of wood that are glued lengthwise. In the area of the binding, layers of harder wood are incorporated and softer, lighter wood is used towards the tip and tail. This elaborate construction gives the core different areas of stiffness with precisely adjusted flex properties, which creates a more harmonious ride.Carbon Flipcore W.S.D.Built specifically for the women's models this method offers the perfect blend of light weight and high performance. A uni-directional carbon layer integrated into a light sandwich construction ensures lightness, stability, smooth flex and torsional rigidity for an all round versatile and confidence inspiring ride.eB tester’s comments: Ailsa (Fort William) This ski made me happy! It was at home anywhere on the mountain. I could blast down groomers and play in the deeper stuff. The perfect all mountain ski.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1531288811012.1591288811013.1651288811014.1711288811015.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: Yes [Full Details]
Aimed at advanced skiers who want one ski to go everywhere on the mountain, the Kendo 88 is remarkably versatile. It has the grip to carve big, high-speed turns on piste and the width and handling to ski fast off-piste in variable conditions. The Tailored Titanal Frame runs full length to provide the best dampening and stability, as well as power for the edges. Carbon Tips reduce swing weight and the low tip and tail rocker ensure that it’s impressively manoeuvrable.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type everywhere on the mountain, remembering that skiing off-piste is much more than only powder runs. The stability and grip that serve it so well in choppy and packed snow are also important on piste for strong skiers.Skier TypeAdvanced and expert all mountain skiers who want some width for stability but who are realistic enough to know they won’t be skiing deep powder often. The Kendo 88 has plenty of power and grip for skiing all the conditions and terrain that good skiers will encounter off-piste, as well as plenty of time on piste.OverviewShape88mm underfoot works well as a compromise for a serious all mountain skier; not too wide to make the ski feel sluggish on firm snow and offering float and balance for other conditions. The centre section of the 3D Sidecut is now 1m shorter in radius, making turning even easier. The sidecut is fairly straight to help with stability; the tips and tails are relatively short to keep a long effective edge. The tail has a slight rise that assists turn release, especially useful in trickier terrain or snow.RockerTip and Tail Rocker uses camber underfoot for excellent grip and response, with tip and tail rocker to aid turn initiation and release.CoreThe Multi Layer Woodcore uses a combination of beech and poplar, resulting in an extremely durable core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood around. This is reinforced by a full length Tailored Titanal Frame that increases torsional stiffness and improves dampening.ConstructionFull sidewall produces direct and strong power transmission for the best control.Key FeaturesTailored Titanal FrameTailored Titanal Frame is an evolution of Volkl’s familiar Titanal Frame. In this design, the width of the Titanal upper belt can be adapted to the length of the ski; the resulting torsional stiffness and the desired damping behaviour can be adapted to the skier. The Titanal content is reduced in shorter skis, which means shorter and lighter skiers can get the most out of their skis without excessive effort. The new Tailored Carbon Tips make the Kendo 88 extremely versatile. Carbon fibres applied by means of Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP) allow our engineers to influence curve behaviour with great accuracy. The strength and alignment of the fibres define the force you need to apply and the energy that builds up where it’s needed. Agile shovel reaction is a feature of special note. This means that as soon as you initiate a turn, you can steer the ski in a measured, easy manner. In other words, simply think about changing direction – and it happens. This construction also allows means less weight without any loss of stability.3D Radius SidecutThe 3D Radius Sidecut ensures a range of turn size feel natural. A long radius on the tip and tail is combined with a tighter radius in the centre. The longer radii aid bigger turns and higher speeds with easy steering, less tip disruption and smoother turn exits. The shorter radius in the centre makes it easier to execute short turns and improves agility.Carbon TipsIn this innovative manufacturing process, the new Tailored Carbon Tips are produced by embroidering the individual carbon fibres onto a carrier material. This allows them to be positioned exactly along the stress lines, opening up completely new possibilities, for performance at the front of the ski, which has a decisive influence on the handling of the ski. The stiffness, torsion and thus the skiing characteristics can be specifically adjusted via the fibre thickness and millimetre-precise alignment. In this way, the fibres guide the dynamics to the areas of the ski where they are needed. The visibly integrated Carbon Tips are light, allow an agile shovel reaction with less effort and quickly build up energy. The Carbon Tips thus reach a new level of precision, direct tip response and active skiing pleasure.eB tester’s comments: Alex (Braehead) You can feel the stiffness of it, great for charging but definitely not for slow speed cruising. It's an aggressive ski that wants you to work it on shorter turns and is most at home powering through crud on long carves.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1631298811323/13/211701298811326/15/231771298811329/??/251841298811331/17/26General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: MediumBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: No [Full Details]

With the same technology as it's big brother, the Tom Wallisch Pro, the LINe Tom Wallisch Shorty is the best ski for any young gun skier wanting to get into the park and freestyle. Lightweight, durable, and so poppy, the Wallisch Shorty is designed to take your skiing to a new level so you can become the next Tom Wallisch. An Aspen Core keeps it lightweight and helps create the nimble feel. The flex is soft, making it ideal for butters and presses, but thanks to the quality build and decent camber underfoot it still feels good on jumps. To ensure it feels as good switch as it does skiing forward, Line use a symmetric flex, giving it the same feel in front and behind and the binding. The 5Cut Multi Radius Sidecut blends 5 different radii so that the ski is comfortable in a variety of turns and keeps an intuitive feel. 4D Fibrecap construction uses 4 directions of fibreglass, woven across the top of the core for added durability, and a cap construction for toughness.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes, all mountain and plenty of time either in terrain parks or looking for natural terrain to jump off and mess about on. This is a brilliant ski for young freestylers looking to spend more time at the parks in the domes and dryslopes of the UK.Skier TypeYoung rippers who know they enjoy a fun ski and want to ski backwards and jump.OverviewShape72mm in the waist keeps the ski nimble and quick from edge-to-edge, with just enough width to explore softer snow. The 12m radius ensures it turns easily whilst also making sure it feels super stable when landing and in rougher conditions. The twin shape feels great when used switch. Five different radiuses are blended into the ski's sidecut, the result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel.Rockerearly Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.CoreAn Aspenlite Core uses 100% aspen for the lightest, most nimble feel.ConstructionAny ski that is aimed at jibbing and playing-about needs to be tough, and just because the TW Shorty is light doesn't mean that Line have skimped on the durability.

Atomic's Redster J4 is a piste ski that has the spirit of a race model without the tricky handling or price tag. It's ideal for younger skiers who now have good technique but maybe don't have the weight or power to drive a stiff ski. It has the construction of an adult model, with a Light Woodcore and Dura Cap Sidewalls, just no metal layers or reinforcement. This means it has precise handling and good energy to make the most of the piste focused shape, for quick turns and lively performance. Plus, it goes fast because it has racing colours.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Very much aimed at pistes thanks to its shape and width, but we can be sure that what it is designed for and what it does are very different.

The Honey Badger is the go-to ski for park, freestyle and jibbing all over the mountain. Handrails, bonks, hard landings, it doesn't care. It can take it all and it won't break your bank in the process. If you're after a super-playful, jibby ski that is lightweight for quick movements and style in your tricks, then Honey Badger is going to be the one.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It's dialled-in for freestyle, whether in the park, natural features or urban locations. The flex is soft, making it ideal for butters and presses, but thanks to the quality build and decent camber underfoot it still feels good on jumps.Skier TypeThis is a ski that will perfectly suit park or urban skiers, meaning it is ideal for dome and dryslope regulars wanting a light, tough and fun ski, for jibs, jumps and rails, more so than many freestyle skis that are bigger and heavier. It won't suit an all mountain skier as it doesn't have the grip on hard snow or the width for powder seekers, but it will make the right choice for skiers looking for something park specific with light handling and a poppy feel.OverviewShape92mm underfoot keeps it nimble and quick, the 19.5m (177cm) radius ensures stability on landings and rough snow. A 5Cut Multi Radius Sidecut blends 5 different radii so that the ski is comfortable in a variety of turns and keeps an intuitive feel. early Taper moves the widest point of the sidecut so it begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce hook ups in soft snow.Rockerearly Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.CoreAn Aspen Veneer Core uses aspen stringers to create a lightweight, snappy and engaged feel. This works perfectly with the Carbon Ollieband, pre-stretched carbon stringers running down the ski centre for added pop and play.ConstructionAny ski that is aimed at jibbing and playing-about needs to be tough, and just because the Honey Badger is light doesn't mean that Line have skimped on the durability. In fact, the opposite is true. 4D Fibrecap construction uses 4 directions of fibreglass, woven across the top of the core for added durability, and a cap construction for toughness. Thin Tips help keep the weight down by using a thin core and sidewall in the tip and tail, saving 100grams a pair for reduced swing weight. The textured tougher top sheet materials resist scratches and abuse for longer, protecting the look and life of the ski.Key FeaturesFatty Base and edge30% thicker base and edge, 2.2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of the skis.Symmetric FlexThe same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) A great park ski that won't bust the bank.

The Stance 96 is an exciting new direction for wider Salomon skis. It's firmer and more powerful than any models before thanks to a solid wood core, C/FX layers and twin Titanal laminates. It has the width for soft snow and exploring, and the precision and grip of a dedicated hard snow ski. This makes an appealing mix for stronger skiers who like to ski anywhere on the mountain with no compromise when conditions aren't perfect.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It will go everywhere, from crushing out high speed turns on steep pistes to dealing with any snow that you might find away from the marked trails. It's only possible weak point is the very deepest days, but no all rounder can compete with powder skis on a pow day. That said it does have the width and rocker to deal with most fresh snow runs. It's a departure for Salomon, and very different to the QST 99. The Stance offers more grip and power, competing with other brand's stiff all mountain offerings, suiting a mix of pistes and all terrain skiing that involves much more than the holy grail of untouched powder runs.Skier TypeStrong all mountain skiers who demand grip, precision and power from a ski. Heavier, aggressive intermediate skiers will have no problem on the Stance but its main target is confident advanced and expert skiers who don't want to lose any hard snow performance and need a ski with the profile to deal with all conditions.OverviewShapeThe shape is that of freeride ski, with a 96mm waist and a 20m radius (182cm), built for stability and float. The construction resembles an all mountain ski, bringing power and grip to this all condition shape and is aided by the All Terrain Rocker. The result is a versatile ski for stronger or heavier skiers.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rocker at the tip for improved control and float, with camber underfoot for grip and energy. A smaller rocker on the tail aids turn completion and handling in soft snow without compromising hard snow performance.CoreA full poplar woodcore offers stability, liveliness and good ski-to-snow contact while filtering vibrations. A double layer of Titanal, one either side of the core, improves hard snow performance. It increases precision, offers good edge grip and aids responsiveness.ConstructionFull Sandwich Sidewalls maximise the precision and the energy transfer, resulting in the best levels of edge grip and control. Metal Twinframe Technology builds on this to reinforce the hard-charging nature of the ski.Key FeaturesMetal Twinframe TechnologyA double Titanal laminate is paired with C/FX. The top layer of Titanal improves stability and uses recessed windows that are strategically placed in the tip and tail, framing the C/FX layer. C/FX is Salomon's carbon and Flax layer which is used instead of heavier traditional fibreglass as it adds more precision and has better dampening properties. The result of this pairing is a damp ski that wants to go fast regardless of the terrain or conditions.eB tester’s comments: Luke (Buying Team) Proper fast charging all mountain ski. Handled crud and chopped snow with ease and were better on hard packed snow than I expected. Not a forgiving ski but I found them easier to control and initiate turns than some others in the same category.  Technical SpecificationsSize (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)16812694108191890176130961121919501821329611420194018813496116202070General InformationSkier Ability: Advanced/expertTerrain Type: Freeride Rocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Full SidewallCore: Wood, Carbon, Titanal LaminateDemo: YesSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.

Although designed with jibbing in mind, Ahmet Dadali didn't ignore versatility when dreaming this ski up. A non-symmetrical twin may buck the trend of most park models but it makes total sense, as riding switch requires different technique to going forwards.

The Redster Q4 is all about inspiring confidence and boosting skills for intermediate skiers. The piste is its natural home and whatever the conditions it remains unfazed thanks to a Multi Radius Sidecut and the 77mm waist. Along with the composite wood core and Ti Stabilizer this means it is as happy practising short radius turns onTerrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Redster Q can trace its DNA straight to Atomic's World Cup winning Redster program, so you know that it will be completely at home on pistes and firm snow. The wider waist means that it's a happy to explore a little and is more than capable of handling whatever conditions you find skiing from open to close. It excels on firm morning corduroy, slashes through chop and handles slush with aplomb, whether cruising greens and blues or pushing it on reds.Skier TypeThe Q4 is the ideal ski for intermediates who want to progress on piste whatever the conditions. It has the shape and build to produce a variety of turns, with the width for stability whether it is groomed, soft or choppy. It's a ski to improve on, happy at slow speeds whilst working on technique and also comfortable as things get faster and the turns quicker.OverviewShapeIt's 76.5mm underfoot with a 14.3m radius in a 169cm and has Atomic's All Condition Piste Shape that uses a Multi Radius Sidecut and extra width underfoot to produce confidence inspiring handling and impressive stability. The contact points extend right into the tip and tail, working with the Active Camber, to provide excellent edge hold and means you don't need to ski this model long.RockerActive Camber means no rocker at the tip or tail, this increases the effective edge contact for better grip on icy slopes and improved stability.CoreThe mix of Power Woodcore and Densolite ensures good handling without excess weight. The Power Woodcore is an ash and poplar core that adds a ton of stability and dampens vibrations at speed. The Densolite is a foam core that keeps the ski agile as well as dampening vibrations for effortless skiing.ConstructionDura Cap Sidewall uses a sidewall from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip.

Re-designed 2 seasons ago with a lower swing weight, snappier pop and updated durable Fatty Sintered Bases and Bomb(drop) proof oversized edges. Big jumps, quad kinks, or just hot laps through the park, the Tom Wallisch Pro can perform it all with a style that'll blow up the internet. This is the best park ski developed by the best skier in the park. A low swing weight, durable construction and a snappy feel, what's not to like?Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type This is a performance park ski, that will hit any feature no matter how big or small. Stiff enough to generate power, but with the flex dialled just right so that butters and presses come easily. The light swing weight helps with spins and will have you going harder on to and off rails. It may not be wide enough to take on the fatter freestyle skis when the powder really arrives, but the quality construction ensures that it will rip round the mountain with plenty of control and response when you do take some runs outside of the park, even in freshies. Quite simply, it is the best pure freestyle ski on the market for anyone who wants a bit of extra pop and a little bit more precision.Skier TypeFreestyle skiers who want maximum pop and response, it's a park focused shape but it will happily tear around on the frontside terrain, on or off the groomers.OverviewShape90mm underfoot keeps it nimble and quick, the 19m (178cm) radius ensures stability on landings and rough snow. A 5Cut Multi Radius Sidecut blends 5 different radii so that the ski is comfortable in a variety of turns and keeps an intuitive feel. early Taper moves the widest point of the sidecut so it begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce hook ups in soft snow.Rockerearly Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.CoreThe core uses Line's legendary Maple Macroblock with 2 full length maple stringers surrounded by aspen for increased strength and durability. This works perfectly with the Carbon Ollieband, pre-stretched carbon stringers running down the ski centre for added pop and play. The result is a ski with a lot of life.ConstructionFreestyle skis need to be tough and a cap construction is the best option to resist edge dings and damage, but sidewalls offer more precision. The solution on TW Pro is Capwall, with sidewall underfoot where you want the precision and a cap in the tip and tail to provide the durability and weight saving. The rest of the construction is as well thought out too. Thin Tips also help keep the weight down by using a thin core and sidewall in the tip and tail, saving 100grams a pair for reduced swing weight. The textured tougher top sheet materials resist scratches and abuse for longer, protecting the look and life of the ski. Not just great skis, but tough ones too.Key FeaturesFatty Base and edge30% thicker base and edge, 2.2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of the skis.Symmetric FlexThe same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) Absolutely predictable handling, which in the park is essential to give you the confidence to keep lapping and get your tricks dialled in.

It will pop, slide and jump as well as any of the 95mm all mountain freestyle skis, and then leave them in its spray when it's time to charge other terrain whether bumps, trees, natural hits or untouched stashes.Skier TypeSkiers who want to spend as much time on natural terrain and all mountain as they do in the park, all done on a ski with durability built-in.OverviewShape95mm underfoot is ideal for a mix of park and all mountain, wide enough to be stable and provide float when the snow is soft or rougher, narrow enough to still feel quick. The 16m (178cm) radius ensures fast turns and good performance on hard snow. A 5Cut Sidecut uses 5 different radii blended together to create a variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. early Taper moves the widest point of the sidecut so it begins tapering earlier in the tip and tail to reduce hook ups in soft snow.Rockerearly Rise at the tip and tail lift them away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the centre of the ski. This increases the ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge.CoreThe core uses Line's legendary Maple Macroblock with 2 full length maple stringers surrounded by aspen for increased strength and durability.ConstructionFreestyle skis need to be tough and a cap construction is the best option to resist edge dings and damage, but sidewalls offer more precision. The solution on the Chronic is Capwall, with sidewall underfoot where you want the precision and a cap in the tip and tail to provide the durability and weight saving. Thin Tips help keep the weight down by using a thin core and sidewall in the tip and tail, saving 100grams a pair for reduced swing weight. The textured tougher top sheet materials resist scratches and abuse for longer, protecting the look and life of the ski. Not just great skis, but tough ones too.Key FeaturesFatty Base and edge30% thicker base and edge, 2.2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life of the skis.Symmetric FlexThe same flex pattern in front and behind your boot conforms to terrain equally riding forward and backwards.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) These put a big smile on your face. They encourage you to stop taking it all so seriously and actually open your eyes and see what your next move will be: a pop off of a lip, a slash over a roller, a run through the park or a play just off to the side?Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1641299512013.1711299512014.5.1781299512016.1851299512017.4.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|Advanced|expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: ShortBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Semi SidewallCore: WoodDemo: Yes [Full Details]
The all-new Nordica Santa Ana 84 is the narrowest of the award winning Santa Ana models, a range known for their smooth and balanced ride. The 84 keeps these traits and matches them with dimensions that suit pistes and easier off piste. The shape ensures versatility with easy turn initiation whatever the snow conditions and good hold right through the turn. A wood core is paired with carbon strips and a Titanal sheet to produce impressive edge grip and dampen vibrations. Cruising blues with lazy turns, or faster carves down choppy reds, even searching away from pistes for fresh snow, the Santa Ana 84 has it all covered.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Mainly pistes and, thanks to its shape and construction, it doesn't matter what condition they are in, the Santa Ana 84 will have the same smoothness and balance on groomed trails or chopped-up, skied-out, end of the day runs home. The waist width and the long nose that provide this stability also mean that the 84 will be comfortable on easier off-piste too, so some exploring is on the cards.Skier TypeIntermediate and Advanced skiers who want stability and smoothness from a ski made using the best construction techniques and materials. It's as comfortable cruising as it is being pushed hard, so you can relax or test your skills. Medium radius turns are its sweet spot.OverviewShapeIt's the narrowest of the Santa Ana family at 84mm in the waist and the most piste focused. The tip borrows heavily from the rest of the range with a long nose for a smooth ride in softer/rougher conditions, but the tail differs with the contact points nearer the extremity and squarer shape for better grip through the end of the turn. The 14m radius (158cm) suits a variety of turns and conditions, ideal for a ski that will spend lots of time on piste as well some less technical off piste.RockerAll Mountain Rocker uses a 30/50/20 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This gives effortless handling in all conditions as the rocker in the tip aids float and initiation, the camber provides grip and bite on firmer snow, and the tail rocker allows for easy turn release and control in tricky snow.CoreThe powerful energy Ti W core uses a full wood core with a Titanal sheet positioned above. The metal dampens vibrations and improves stability, the wood adds energy and response. True Tip Technology extends the core into the tip and lightens the overall weight as well as increasing manoeuvrability.ConstructionSidewalls offer the best in energy transmission and edge grip; the new Carbon Chassis reduces weight and increases stability.Key FeaturesCarbon ChassisNordica's carbon-reinforced chassis weighs about 35% less than traditional glass. Full-length carbon strips not only reduce the chassis weight, they also increase the ski's strength and stability. The result is a stronger, lighter, more stable ski that's also more playful and versatile.True Tip TechnologyBy trimming the amount of heavy ABS plastic in the tip and extending the lightweight wood core into this area, with a taper that further reduces weight, Nordica were able to increase playfulness and manoeuvrability of the ski. At the same they have maintained the classic powerful and stable feel that enforcers are known for.Terrain Specifc MaterialBy adding the same shaped metal plate inside the different models of skis, the amount of metal increases propotionally going from the wider models to the narrower ones. Through this technology, Nordica are able to design unique constructions better suited for different terrain. The narrower Santa Ana have more power and stability on trail, while the wider constructions are more enjoyable off-piste and on softer snow. This keeps the weight down whist still using metal dampening and provides the right amlout of stability and playfulness.eB tester’s comments: Claire (Milton Keynes) I'd describe myself as a high-intermediate to advanced skier who will ski anywhere and this ticked a lot of my boxes. They are so smooth and easy to ski but still nimble plus hold well on hard snow and they're a perfect construction for a mix of conditions.

The 2024 Atomic Bent 90 are as comfortable ripping all mountain as they are sending in the park, and we've get them excliusively at ellis Brigham as a pre-release. The dimensions work perfectly for this mix of terrain, narrow enough to remain quick and nimble and with the width to float when it gets soft. HRZN Tech at the tip and tail improves the handling whatever the snow with smooth turns on hard or fresh conditions and easy control on jumps, rails and the pipe. Dura Cap and Resist edges improve the durability and the Light Woodcore keeps the weight down.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type It’s happy skiing anywhere on the mountain, from the park to the piste or bumps, trees, and fresh snow. There are not many skis that transition so well from jumps, rails, and pipes to skiing all terrain. This is one for freestylers who want versatility, if you’re more all mountain to start then go with the big brother Bent 100.Skier TypeFreestylers who want to mix skiing everywhere on the mountain with time in the park, or, all mountain skiers who want to ski park sometime? Or just skiers who want a do-it-all ski. It’s light and predictable when skiing on piste or in fresh snow and has the pop and stability to make it shine in the park. This is the model that the Atomic freestyle team choose as their everyday ride.OverviewShapeA directional shape with only a small tail rocker means predictable handling and more of the ski's edge in contact with the snow, resulting in better grip and stability. 90mm in the waist is the perfect mix for nimbleness and quick response, with enough width for balance and some float when conditions offer fresh snow.

Race department influenced shaping and a user-friendly construction means this is the perfect choice for aspiring piste skiers. edge Amplifier helps maintain grip throughout the turn by transferring maximum power to the edge and just the right amount of rocker allows turn initiation to be effortless for fluid linked carves on groomed snow.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Pistes are the home, forget about anything else.

Salomon's Stance 80 is for intermediates who want to ski equally well whatever condition the piste is in. The shape and width combine with the woodcore and Titanal laminate to create a superbly stable ride, no matter the snow. The long nose and tail ensure no grabby turns and the waist provides a balanced platform. Clean carves in the morning on the fresh groomed slopes through to smooth, effortless turns in the afternoon when it all cuts up and many piste models start to struggle. It'll even take you on your first adventures away from the marked trails.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Mainly pistes but not exclusively. It will be happiest on reds and blues, whatever the condition, and that's the beauty of the Stance 80. It doesn't need perfect snow or grooming, it has the stability and shape to feel great when the snow isn't, which is when many other narrower skis will start to become more difficult. You can also take this for a few runs down the sides in the easier off piste.Skier TypeIntermediate piste skiers who want a balanced ski for use in a range of conditions. To achieve this they're prepared to sacrifice some quickness edge-to-edge to gain more stability, but it's still no slouch on firm snow as it has a nice energy about it, zipping through turns. Technique won't be perfect yet and the Stance 80 will help them improve in a range of conditions and speeds, never over precise but with enough performance to encourage and reward good technique. To make the most of it, the skier needs the confidence or desire to tackle more than just groomed snow.OverviewShape80mm in the waist is a good size for a ski that will spend plenty time on piste and still needs to work well in a lot of other conditions, narrow enough so it's still relatively quick edge-to-edge and with the width to be stable on rougher conditions. The nose and tail both have a long transition to where the sidecut starts, meaning the ski has quite a short radius so that it feels quick to turn on piste. This shape works well with the rocker so that the turn initiation is predictable and safe on soft or variable snow, and the turn completion is smooth and easy to switch between carving or sliding.RockerAll Terrain Rocker uses rock at the tip with an early rise tail and camber underfoot.

The Cloud Q9 is all about inspiring confidence and boosting skills for women who want to take thier piste skiing to the next level. On groomers is its natural home and whatever the conditions it remains unfazed thanks to a Multi Radius Sidecut and the 75.5mm waist. Along with the light yet stable composite wood core this means it is as happy practising short radius turns on corduroy as it is perfecting longer arcs on afternoon slush. Your new best friend on the mountain.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Redster Q can trace its DNA straight to Atomic’s World Cup winning Redster program, so you know that it will be completely at home on pistes and firm snow. The wider waist means that it’s a happy to explore a little and is more than capable of handling whatever conditions you find skiing from open to close. It excels on firm morning corduroy, slashes through chop and handles slush with aplomb, whether cruising greens and blues or pushing it on reds.Skier TypeThe Cloud Q9 is the ideal ski for intermediates who want to progress on piste whatever the conditions. It has the shape and build to produce a variety of turns, with the width for stability whether it is groomed, soft or choppy. It’s a ski to improve on, happy at slow speeds whilst working on technique and also comfortable as things get faster and the turns quicker.OverviewShapeIt’s 75.5mm underfoot with a 13.5m radius in a 154cm and has Atomic’s All Condition Piste Shape that uses a Multi Radius Sidecut and extra width underfoot to produce confidence inspiring handling and impressive stability. The contact points extend right into the tip and tail, working with the Active Camber, to provide excellent edge hold and means you don’t need to ski this model long.RockerActive Camber means no rocker at the tip or tail, this increases the effective edge contact for better grip on icy slopes and improved stability.CoreThe mix of Light Woodcore and Densolite ensures good handling without excess weight. The Light Woodcore is a poplar core that adds a ton of stability and dampens vibrations at speed. The Densolite is a foam core that keeps the ski agile as well as dampening vibrations for effortless skiing.ConstructionDura Cap Sidewall uses a sidewall from base to top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge grip.

With light, easy handling and sporty performance the Atomic Cloud 9 is one of the best selling skis globally. A tweak to the design 2 years ago resulted in an improved shape with a slightly longer radius and an even better stability so it feels more comfortable whether cruising, speeding or dealing with rougher snow. Full sidewalls ensure good grip on firm conditions, a wood core adds response and the Servotec Light smoothes the ride.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Blue and red pistes, always on marked trails. It will carve cleanly as well as slip and skid if required. The Cloud 9 is easy to control and does whatever the skier asks.Skier TypeIntermediates and less aggressive advanced skiers who like the thrill of skiing fast and precisely but don't want to deal with the more powerful, stiffer skis. Technique may already be pretty good and the Cloud 9 will help hone it without punishing little mistakes.OverviewShapeIt's a traditional piste carving shape, designed to turn and turn. It's was adjusted 2 seasons ago, to give it a narrower tip and tail, making it easier to dictate the turn and control the start and end phases. The waist has remained the same at 73mm. The perfect width so that it is narrow to be quick from edge to edge and still broad enough for stability.RockerPiste Rocker uses 10/90 split of tip rocker and camber. The tip rocker, whilst slight, is big enough to make turn initiation easier without impacting on the amount of camber that produces the grip and easy liveliness that the Cloud 9 is known for.CoreCombination of Densolite and Light Wood Core that uses poplar. This keeps the weight down and is very effective at dampening vibrations whilst also ensuring that the ski has the right amount of life. The single titanal layer of the Titanium Stabilizer sits under the core to control the torsional flex and improve the shock absorption.ConstructionFull Sidewall ensures the best energy transmission and the strongest possible grip.Key FeaturesServotec LightAn elastomer inlay is positioned along a groove that runs down the front of the skis topsheet, dampening vibrations and boosting stability.eB tester’s comments: Ailsa (Fort William) I loved how easy this was to ski, it's quick into the turns and the forgiving tail will help anyone feel confident with their skiing.

It's also not the skinniest ski on the mountain and will happily deal with choppier conditions and deeper snow. The flex feels nice and solid for the weight of the ski, giving it excellent edge hold and making it a good choice for skiers who demand performance so they can feel secure and really enjoy the ride down after the climb up.Skier TypeBackcountry skiers who want to keep the weight to a minimum for the maximum ease when travelling longer distances, but who do not want to sacrifice performance. The 85 has plenty of grip and energy when skiing firmer snow. It'll suit a wide variety of skiers from novices all the way to experienced skiers tackling everything on the mountain.OverviewShapeA directional shape with tip rocker means predictable handling and more of the ski's edge in contact with the snow, resulting in better grip and stability. 85mm in the waist is narrow enough to remain nimble and quick edge-to-edge but there's enough wide there if you do find some softer snow and want some width underfoot. The 17m radius (172cm) is long enough to boost the stability, helping the ski track cleanly whatever the snow condition. The HRZN Tech tip further improves the overall handling with a horizontal rocker that increases surface area.RockerAll Mountain Rocker use a 15/85/0 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This mix ensures excellent grip and response on firmer snow and when traversing, with some rocker at the front for better planning in soft conditions and easy handling when steering the skis.CoreThe Ultra Light Woodcore is made from poplar and caruba to ensure the weight is kept right down.ConstructionCap Sidewall uses sidewall from the base to the top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge hold. The rounded shape adds durability as it picks up less dings and knocks.Key FeaturesHRZN Tech TipHRZN Tech blends an ABS sidewall construction with an across-the-ski (horizontal) rocker. This adds 10% more surface area in the tip and tail without increasing swing weight. The result is better tracking through chop and crud and less tip deflection – meaning greater stability, floatation and agility.Carbon BackboneAn ultra-light insert that runs the length of the ski like a stabilising backbone. This provides exceptional agility and edge hold without extra weight.eB tester’s comments: Dani (Aviemore) A true tour ski that still feels solid.

An 85mm waist, HRZN tip and UltraLight Wood core ensure efficient gliding and speed when going uphill whilst improving overall manoeuvrability. A Carbon Backbone refines the ride going back down by beefing up the levels of grip and power to cope with variable conditions so you stay in control. This is well suited to hut-to-hut tours or shorter ones, focusing on the climb.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The width dictates that this isn't the right option for anyone dreaming of bottomless days and fresh snow, but it does mean that the 85 is quick and nimble for skiing in tight spaces. It's also not the skinniest ski on the mountain and will happily deal with choppier conditions and deeper snow. The flex feels nice and solid for the weight of the ski, giving it excellent edge hold and making it a good choice for skiers who demand performance so they can feel secure and really enjoy the ride down after the climb up.Skier TypeBackcountry skiers who want to keep the weight to a minimum for the maximum ease when travelling longer distances, but who do not want to sacrifice performance. The 85 has plenty of grip and energy when skiing firmer snow. It'll suit a wide variety of skiers from novices all the way to experienced skiers tackling everything on the mountain.OverviewShapeA directional shape with tip rocker means predictable handling and more of the ski's edge in contact with the snow, resulting in better grip and stability. 85mm in the waist is narrow enough to remain nimble and quick edge-to-edge but there's enough wide there if you do find some softer snow and want some width underfoot. The 17m radius (172cm) is long enough to boost the stability, helping the ski track cleanly whatever the snow condition. The HRZN Tech tip further improves the overall handling with a horizontal rocker that increases surface area.RockerAll Mountain Rocker use a 15/85/0 split of rocker/camber/rocker across the tip, main body and tail of the ski. This mix ensures excellent grip and response on firmer snow and when traversing, with some rocker at the front for better planning in soft conditions and easy handling when steering the skis.CoreThe Ultra Light Woodcore is made from poplar and caruba to ensure the weight is kept right down.ConstructionCap Sidewall uses sidewall from the base to the top sheet for controlled power transmission and great edge hold. The rounded shape adds durability as it picks up less dings and knocks.Key FeaturesHRZN Tech TipHRZN Tech blends an ABS sidewall construction with an across-the-ski (horizontal) rocker. This adds 10% more surface area in the tip and tail without increasing swing weight.

From Ellis Brigham
Head’s Shape eV5 is a fun and lively intermediate piste ski that has just enough width to try a little exploring too. It was a ski that surprised us on testing, way exceeding our expectation with much more grip and stability than many skis much more expensive. It had no issue dealing with the firmer and rougher snow, happily putting down clean controlled turns and encouraging speed. On softer snow the balanced handling made terrain changes easy. The construction ensures it isn’t heavy, but also that it still feels super comfortable; the eRA 3.0 and shape make turning effortless, and the 74mm waist is the perfect all-round dimension for hard snow with some softer bits thrown in.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type Lots of time on pistes whatever condition they’re in, especially fast, cruisy red runs, and some exploring off the sides looking for new challenges and terrain. It has surprising amounts of grip and encourages the skier to hold the carve a bit longer, push a bit faster and to progress. This applies especially on groomed snow and, thanks to how stable it feels, also on unpisted terrain where the always predictable handling will boost confidence.Skier TypeGood intermediates who are learning how to control skis at all speeds and in various conditions.OverviewShapeThe eV5 has so much shape they even include it in the name. This ski is seriously curvey with a big wide nose that works with the rocker to initiate turns effortlessly. The waist is 74mm, an ideal size so that piste response is not affected yet with just enough width to feel stable in rougher and softer snow for some off piste exploring. The tails are rounded I shape to ease turn release when conditions or terrain are trickier.RockerAllride Rocker uses tip rocker and camber underfoot; perfect for skiers who feel comfortable on any slopes. It enables superior steering and increases floatation. The camber ensures grip and precision on hard snow.CoreA vertically laminated wood core has a composite sock around it. This combination results in good vibration control, no excess weight and a smooth ride that suits ambitious skiers who don’t want all out power.ConstructionPower Sidewall Jacket Construction is a mouthful, but it gives a lot of clues to what it does and how it’s made. A cap construction enhances durability and sits on top of ABS Sidewalls which provide precise energy transmission. As well as the wood composite core, a layer of Graphene is used to keep the ski light but also increase the strength.Key FeatureseMC Fenergy Management Circuit Front, the world's only electronic ski dampening system. When the ski bends and vibrates, it takes the kinetic energy in the ski and transfers it into electrical energy, which is then used to absorb negative vibrations for a more stable experience. Smooth skiing and exceptional edge grip, whatever the conditions.eRA 3.0eRA 3.0 is a combination of technologies, shape and geometry using a targeted rocker at the tip with low rise, a progressive radius and vibration absorbing fibres. The rocker improves steering and enhances soft snow versatility. The progressive radius at the tip means that even though there is rocker, less angulation is required to get full edge contact, resulting in better grip. Intellifibers in the tip dampen vibrations for a smoother ride.GrapheneGraphene is the thinnest and lightest element ever discovered by mankind. It is also the strongest material on the planet, stronger than diamond and 300 times stronger than steel, all in the thickness of one atom. By using it in the construction Head can reduce weight and increase strength of the ski.eB tester’s comments: Sean (Liverpool) Great edge hold on hard snow and quick response and easy in short turns with plenty of bite if you want to go a bit faster. Will make a perfect first-time carving ski.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)1561287410910.2.1631287410913.170128741091318451771287410915.General InformationSkier Ability: Intermediate|AdvancedRocker: Tip RockerRadius: ShortBase: SinteredBindings: Integrated, PR 11 GWDIN: 3 - 11Construction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood, Composite, GrapheneDemo: Yes [Full Details]
